Prosthetic Knee Mechanism Using a Double Locking System as a Safety Measure

Eicarl Saynes Vazquez,
Esther Lugo González

Abstract: The design of a four-link knee prosthesis mechanism with two locking systems activated during the flexion/extension phase is presented. The first is geometric, totally mechanical and activated by the user's weight. The second is variable and is activated automatically when walking on irregular or special surfaces is required. The links' dimensions were selected using the differential evolutionary optimization algorithm to follow the trajectory of the poloid generated during human walking. Motion simulation is … Show more
