摘要: A knee unit for an above-knee prosthetic leg includes a piston arrangement, valve arrangement and bladder achieving swing stance control of the leg. For displaces fluid through to compress storing energy required drive extension cycle provide bias flexion resistance unit. is such that when weight applied heel foot at various stages gait leg, permitted flex or prevented from flexing via compression stability during phases cycle.
