A novel prosthetic knee joint with a parallel spring and damping mechanism
Prosthetic knee joint (PKJ) is an important apparatus for trans-femoral amputees to regain walking ability. This study has two objectives: (1) to design a high performance and low-cost passive PKJ and (2) to evaluate the performance of the PKJ. In the proposed PKJ design, a four-bar linkage was empl...
