摘要:
A prosthetic knee device having a hydraulic cylinder (30) with a piston (34) and a gas cylinder (60). A connecting element (26) extends outwardly from the piston and passing through a gas cylinder. A bottom portion (64) of the gas cylinder is adapted for slidable engagement with the hydraulic cylinder. A plunger (72) is fixedly connected to the hydraulic cylinder. An outer periphery of a plunger is adapted for slidable engagement with the interior surface of the gas cylinder, so as to form an operational chamber (68) within the gas cylinder between the bottom portion thereof and the plunger. The operational chamber is responsive to the movement of the prosthetic knee device.

摘要:
A prosthetic ankle joint (10) consists of a base (16) which includes an upper base portion and a lower base portion. The lower base portion is formed with a substantially hollow receiving cavity extending inwardly from an end thereof remote from the upper base portion. A base member is movably positioned within the receiving cavity and is connected to a prosthetic foot (12). The base member (60) is movable in side-to-side direction independently of the base, so as to enable the prosthetic foot (12) to closely follow a walking surface. The motion of the base member (60) is controlled by resilient biasing members positioned between the inner cavity and the base member (60).
摘要:
An articulated prosthetic ankle joint (10) is adapted for connection between a pylon (14) and a prosthetic foot (12) for moving the foot between dorsiflexed and plantarflexed positions during human locomotion. The prosthetic ankle joint includes a base member (16) adapted for connection to the prosthetic foot, a bracket member (18) adapted for connection to the pylon and pivotally connected to the base member, a recumbent bar (32) pivotally connected to the bracket member, and an upright bar (52) having a lower end pivotally connected to the base and an upper end pivotally connected to the recumbent bar. The bracket member together with the base member, the recumbent bar and the upright bar form a four-bar linkage assembly with a deformable interior space. An elastomeric block (130) is captured within the interior space. Pivotal movement of the base member with respect to the bracket member between dorsiflexed and plantarflexed positions causes deformation of the interior space, and thus deformation of the resilient block. The resilient block normally biases the base member to the dorsiflexed position and resists rotational movement of the base member from the dorsiflexed position.
摘要:
A prosthetic knee cage (10) consists of a base unit (12) formed by spaced from each other first and second side members (22,24) interconnected by a connecting element (26), so as to form an operational channel (28) therebetween. A platform (14) is adapted for pivotal cooperation with the base unit (12). An adjustment device (16) is provided for adjustment of pivotal movement of the platform (14) relative to the base unit (12).
摘要:
An orthotic device is formed with a stationary proximal receiving element adapted to receive at least a portion of a thigh region of a human limb and a distal receiving element adapted to receive a lower region of the human limb. The distal receiving element is pivotally movable with respect to the proximal receiving element by forces applied to a proximal region of the distal receiving element.
