kinematic external prosthesis for lower limbs, in particular to a knee

摘要

The prosthetic assembly, especially for the knee joint, comprises a femoral element (F) and a tibial element (T). The elements (F) and (T) have complementary male (1) - female (2) bearing and sliding articulation shapes, the said shapes (1) and (2) each exhibiting cross-sectional profiles capable of automatically causing in combination with a flexion movement corresponding to the start of flexion of the knee, a voluntary internal rotation movement of the tibial element (T) with respect to the femoral element (F) through a defined limited angle.
