Abstract

1,191,633. Artificial legs or splints. J. E. HANGER & CO. Ltd. 14 June, 1967 [14 June, 1966], No. 26376/66. Heading A5R. The degree of movement of an artificial leg or splint joint is controlled or inhibited by restrictive means operated by mechanicalelectric actuators movable in accordance with the intensity of electromyograph Signals, the legs or splints including electrodes for contacting the patient's skin to detect the Signals. In an artificial knee joint, the restrictive mean's comprises a'vane 12 or pison (17, Figure 3) attached to one part of the leg and movable in a cylinder 11 attached to the other part of the leg, controlled flexure of the joint being permitted as fluid passes between opposite sides of the vane 12 or piston (17) through a by-pass including a valve 14 (20) controlled 'by an operator 16 in response to amplified signals received from the skin contacting electrodes (5, 6). The value may comprise a restriction (22, Figure 4) through which ferro-colloidal or othen magnetic 'fluid flows under the control of windings (i21) which receive signals from the electrodes. Alternatively, a drum and band joint brake '(23, 24 Figure 5) is controlled 'by a lever (25) operated by an electro-mechanical actuator (26) connected to the electrodes. A battery and amplifier for amplifying the signals received are housed in the artificial leg.
