Hydraulic Prosthetic Knee Joint Hydraulic prosthetic knee joint is an advanced type of artificial knee joint designed to mimic the natural motion of the human knee. This technology uses hydraulic fluid dynamics to provide smooth and controlled movements, which are crucial for walking, running, and other activities. The hydraulic prosthetic knee joint to the ground when pressure is applied to the heel, so the foot can lie flat on a slope while the leg remains in its natural position. This provides better momentum control as less energy is returned by the heel spring, reducing the need for gait compensation. Features Hydraulic system individually adjusts the swing phase for a harmonious gait Enables a secure, confident heel strike Adapter option allows simple modification of the socket connector Higher ground clearance for a safer, more confident gait Highly acute flexion angle for greater freedom of movement How does the hydraulic knee prosthesis work? With the hydraulic knee prosthesis when pressure is applied to the heel, the "ankle joint" adapts to the ground so that the foot can lie flat on a slope while the leg remains in its natural position. This provides better momentum control as less energy is returned by the heel spring, reducing the need for gait compensation.
