The objective of this paper is to conduct a systematic review on design technology and
clinical application of polycentric prosthetic knee joint in the rehabilitation of trans-femoral …

A variety of polycentric prosthetic knee joints have been manufactured globally over the past
decade and there has been ambiguity over prescription criteria, design parameters …

The objective of this work is to perform simulation and experimental validation of a
polycentric prosthetic knee through finite element analysis. The prosthetic knee may be …

Prosthetic restoration is an important component of amputee rehabilitation which may be
subjected to a static load of nearly five times of amputees' body weight and is continuously …

Prosthetic knee joint (PKJ) is an important apparatus for trans-femoral amputees to regain
walking ability. This study has two objectives:(1) to design a high performance and low-cost …

This paper describes a continuation of earlier work using the finite element method to
conduct an engineering failure analysis of an existing polycentric prosthetic knee. The …

The prosthetic knees are exposed to a vertical loading of approximately 5 times the body
weight during high-impact activities necessitating a higher safety factor during its design and …

A prosthetic knee is predominantly subjected to cyclic action leading to fatigue failure during
its operation. However, cyclic failure is more severe as it occurs below the yield strength and …
