The invention relates to an artificial joint for lower extremities, comprising an upper part (1), which has mechanisms for attaching to a user, and a lower part (2) mounted thereon in a pivotal manner about a joint axis (3), which lower part can be bent in from an extended position into a flexed position, wherein a force accumulator (6) is associated with the joint (100), which force accumulator is loaded via a force transmission mechanism (8, 9) through a flexing movement of the upper part (1) relative to the lower part (2) and supports an extension movement of the lower part (2) relative to the upper part (1) at least over a part of the extension movement, wherein the force transmission device (8, 9) exerts a maximum moment of extension at a bending angle between 45° to 80°. |
