  • Publication number: 20240115403
    Abstract: A prosthetic knee can include a variable-torque magnetorheological (MR) actuator assembly or braking system, a frame and an electronics assembly or system that also serves as a mount for the knee actuator and facilitates in monitoring and controlling the operation of the knee actuator. The prosthetic knee system advantageously provides resistive forces to substantially simulate the position and motion of a natural knee joint during ambulation and/or other locomotory activities performed by the amputee. The prosthetic knee can be enclosed in a waterproof compartment. An outer cover can be configured to fit around the waterproof cover of the prosthetic knee.

  • Publication number: 20220192912
    Abstract: An exoskeleton system includes a body interface and connects to a power supply. The body interface and the power supply include a quick lock connection mechanism arranged to adjust to the height and width of a user. The body interface includes a connection frame that defines at least two anchoring slots at different heights for connecting to corresponding anchors extending from the power supply. The power supply includes a removable locking element for securing the anchors to the anchoring slots at a selected height position. The power supply may have transmission arms driven by a drive system, and an assistive system for connection to a user. The transmission arms may be slidably connected to the drive system and have a locking part to secure the power supply in a plurality of predetermined width positions.
