Abstract

An artificial leg for above-knee amputees comprising a thigh section, a shank section and a knee joint connecting the thigh and shank sections. The shank section is formed with an ankle to which a foot section is pivotally mounted by means of a horizontal shaft in said ankle. A mechanism is provided to bring about control over the shank section motions during swing and stance phases, said mechanism being housed in a shell-shaped calf section constituting a part of the shank. The improved alignment provided by the artificial leg in accordance with the invention is obtained by positioning the horizontal ankle shaft ahead of the weight supporting line passing through the thigh section, the knee joint shaft, and the ankle and by articulating the lower end of the ankle which is shaped as a plate, to a plate arranged on the foot section by means of the horizontal shaft, in addition to which a resilient means is provided behind said horizontal shaft between the foot and ankle plates for forcing the plates apart.
