SWING PHASE CONTROL DEVICE

摘要

The invention relates to a swing phase control device for an artificial knee joint with a piston/cylinder unit. The piston/cylinder unit comprises: a first chamber on one side of the piston; a second chamber on the opposite side of the piston; a first throttle that restricts the discharge of a fluid from the first chamber; a first device that is designed so that it closes the first throttle when a predetermined pressure is reached or exceeded inside the first chamber; a second throttle that restricts the discharge of the fluid from the second chamber, and; a second device that is designed so that it closes the second throttle when a predetermined pressure is reached or exceeded inside the second chamber.
