  • Prosthetic knee with a rectification hydraulic system
    Patent number: 11844708
    Abstract: Described here are prosthetic systems, devices, and methods of use therefor. Generally, a prosthesis may be configured to set a resistance to rotation of a prosthetic joint based on a phase of gait. The prosthesis may include a first cylinder, a first piston slidable within the first cylinder, a fluid sump, and a fluid circuit. The fluid circuit may include a plurality of interconnected fluid channels having a unidirectional variable-resistance valve and a set of check valves that are configured to provide unidirectional flow through the valve during piston compression and extension.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 2, 2021
    Date of Patent: December 19, 2023
    Assignee: Proteor USA, LLC
    Inventors: Stephen W. Prince, Jonathan M. Byars, Robert M. Glidden, IV, Hugo A. Quintero, Michael L. Palmer
