Structural Simulation of a Bone-Prosthesis System of the Knee Joint
Sensors, 2008 In surgical knee replacement, the damaged knee joint is replaced with artificial prostheses. An accurate clinical evaluation must be carried out before applying knee prostheses to ensure optimal outcome from surgical operations and to reduce the ...

Bouncy Knee in a Semi-Automatic Knee Lock Prosthesis [PDF]
Prosthetics & Orthotics International, 1986 The Bouncy Knee concept has previously proved of value when fitted to stabilised knee units of active amputees. The stance phase flex-extend action afforded by a Bouncy Knee increased the symmetry of gait and also gave better tolerance to slopes and uneven ground.
