| 115 | System for controlling artificial knee joint action in an above knee prosthesis | EP92115676.6 | 1992-09-12 | EP0549855A2 | 1993-07-07 | James, Kelvin B. |
This invention relates to an above knee prothesis which employs a hydraulic damper to passively regulate the angular velocity or rotation of the artificial knee joint. A programmed microprocessor recognizes common gait patterns from information received from strain and knee angle sensors on the prosthesis. The microprocessor reacts at various transition points in the gait by activating a motor which in turn adjusts a valve assembly in the damper. The valve assembly is capable of variably and separately damping the knee joint motion in each of flexion and extension at the same time. Gait is improved because of the improved extent of control of knee action. In addition, distinct routines such as stair descending and sitting down can also be practised. |

Beim Verfahren zum Verschieben von Kräften, insbesondere Lasten (P), verringert man entweder eine auf eine Führungsfläche (23) wirkende Kraft (P) durch eine Gegenkraft und verschiebt sie gleichzeitig oder man lässt auf eine Führungsfläche (23) eine Anpresskraft (P) wirken, um eine verschiebende Kraft (Pa) zu erzeugen. Dabei kann man zwecks Verringerung des Reibungswiderstandes der Kraft (P) auf die Unterlage (A, B) auf welche sie wirkt, diese Kraft durch eine Gegenkraft verkleinern und anschliessend die Kraft verschieben. Die Gegenkraft wird mittels einer Membranzelle (20) oder einem Kolben erzeugt. Einen Anteil der Kraft stützt man verschiebbar auf einer Keilfläche (23) ab. Dieses Verfahren gestattetein vorteilhaftes Verschieben von Kräften, insbesondere von Lasten entgegen Reibungskräften. |
