Abstract

The knee joint is fitted to an artificial limb and has one pair of links providing the pivoting action. A third link has one end attached to a movable slide and enables the axis of pivoting (a, b, c) to be adjusted to suit the user. The first set of links (3) join together the upper (2) and lower (1) parts of the artificial knee joint by pivots (5, 5a) these being on the outside. The third link (4) is between the first two and has its upper pivot (6) behind them. Its lower end pivots (6a) in the slide adjustable in a slot (9) and locked by a screw (8).
