    Abstract: A prosthesis or orthosis comprising a c system comprising: a first member (100); a second member (200) pivotally coupled to the first member around a first axis; a passive elastic element (210) fixed to the second member and acting on the rotation around the first axis; a torque controlling mechanism (300) mounted between the first member and the passive elastic element. The torque controlling mechanism is configured for controlling a torque around the first axis in three modes of operations: a first mode wherein load is not transmitted between the first member and the passive elastic element in both working directions of the passive clastic element; a second mode wherein load is transmitted between the first member and the passive elastic element in one working direction and not transmitted in the other; a third mode wherein load is transmitted between the first member and the passive elastic element in both working directions.
