摘要: A prosthetic knee component for an above prosthesis having a frame member and bracket pivotally connected to the member, thereby creating center of rotation component. The further including gait control unit positioned between by flanges extending from rear portion member. flexion bumper is through away sufficiently compressible in phase provide controlled energy absorbing compliance under force exerted on flanges. includes optional running limiter interior surface limiting providing inertia lower leg during gait. provides being resilient spring rate quickly return extension phase.
