    Abstract: An improved artificial leg has a ball and socket ankle joint (3) connecting a foot (2) to a shin member (1). The ankle joint comprises a two-part socket (5A, 5B) enclosing a part-spherical ball member (4) with an elastic sleeve (6) sandwiched between the socket and the ball member (4) to allow resilient flexion of the foot (2) relative to the shin member (1). In order to provide relatively more resistance to dorsi-flexion than to plantar-flexion, an elastic buffer in the form of a ring (11) is disposed around a coupling shank portion (4A) of the ball member (4) to engage a downwardly extending anterior skirt portion (12) of the socket. In the preferred embodiment of the invention the skirt portion (12) also extends around each side of the ring (11) to provide resistance to medial and lateral flexion.

    Abstract: An artificial ankle joint (FIG. 1) is of the kind which connects a shin member to a foot, by means of a ball and socket joint. The socket has adjacent main and subsidiary socket portions. The main socket portion has a first part, which engages the elastic covering of the ball, and a second part which extends down from the first part and receives within it the subsidiary socket portion. A circlip locks the parts together. The main socket portion includes an integral skirt which engages an annular elastic buffer which is mounted around the ball shank.

    Abstract: An artificial leg includes a knee mechanism having means for restricting knee flexing movement during the stance phase of the walking cycle. The restricting means includes a piston and cylinder assembly so coupled in the mechanism that the piston is movable in the cylinder with knee flexion and extension. The knee mechanism includes two chassis parts arranged to move relatively to each other when an axial load is applied to the limb. One end of the piston and cylinder assembly is connected to one of the chassis parts while the other chassis part engages a control member coupled to a valve inside the piston and cylinder assembly so that the valve is operated in response to relative load-dependent movements of the chassis parts in order to restrict the flow of fluid and thereby create resistance to knee flexion during the stance phase. The chassis parts are connected together by an anterior pivot joint and are resiliently moveable relative to each other according to applied load. The piston and cylinder assembly is also operable to resist movement during the swing phase of the walking cycle, and the interaction of the knee chassis parts with the control member is arranged so that movement of the member is reduced or does not occur at all for flexion angles greater than a predetermined value between 30.degree. and 40.degree..
