A prosthetic knee joint with four pivot pins for connecting four joint members, said joint members each being supported at each of their ends in a pivot pin, wherein two opposite, transversely extending joint members are connectable at one end to a prosthetic stem and at the other end to a prosthetic foot, wherein the other two joint members as longitudinal joint members, in both the standing position and the bending position, are adapted to pivot essentially out of an angled position approximate to the parallel position into a relatively more greatly inclined position with respect to each other. At least one of the pivot pins of the joint member connected to the prosthetic foot is in the form of a rotatable, lockable eccentric, wherein, upon rotation of said eccentric, the distance between the two pivot pins on said joint member changes. |
