| Zusammenfassung: | Prosthetic knee joint includes: proximal part mobile in rotation around first axis between extended position and flexion position of prosthetic knee joint; the proximal part being mobile in first direction of rotation from extended position to flexion position, at least one part that is fixed when proximal part is moved in first direction of rotation; link part, arranged to connect the proximal part and part, and presenting contact surface with part; the link part and part being arranged so, when proximal part is moved in first direction of rotation, link part slides on contact surface being subjected to first friction force, when proximal part is moved in second direction of rotation, the link part slides on contact surface being subjected to second friction force strictly lower than first friction force. |
