Further improvements to ankle-foot prosthesis and orthosis capable of automatic adaptation to sloped walking surfaces

摘要: The present invention relates to an improved system for use in rehabilitation and/or physical therapy the treatment of injury or disease lower limbs extremities. can enable amputee proceed over any inclined declined surface without overbalancing. is mechanically passive that it does not utilize motors, force generating devices, batteries, powered sources may add undesirable weight mass and require recharging. In particular self-adapting adjust torque moment depending upon motion, extent inclination, topography. An additional advantage improvement be light also simple manufacture.
