    Abstract: A semi-actuated above knee prosthetic system, which is mostly passive in nature and includes a shank link coupled to an artificial foot, a knee mechanism connected to the shank link and a thigh link attached to an above-knee remaining lower limb of an amputee, is operable in either an actuated mode or an un-actuated mode controlled by a signal processor linked to various prosthetic mounted sensors which may include combinations of knee angle, stance, thigh angle and shank angle sensors. Power is delivered through an electric motor connected to a battery source and employed to drive a hydraulic pump which is part of an overall hydraulic power unit including the torque generator. A signal processor selects a swing state from at least forward, combination forward and descent, combination forward and ascent, reverse, combination reverse and descent, and combination reverse and ascent swing states.

    Abstract: A lower limb orthotic device (100) includes a thigh link (101) connected to a hip link (102) through a hip joint (103) a hip torque generator (106) including a hip actuator (110) and a first mechanical transmission mechanism (111) interposed between the thigh link ( 101) and the hip link (102), a shank link (104) connected to the thigh link (101) through a knee joint ( 105), a knee torque generator ( 107) including a knee actuator (112) and a second mechanical transmission mechanism (113) interposed between the thigh link (101) and the shank link (104), and a controller (108), such as for a common motor (154) and pump (156) connected to the hip and knee torque generators (106, 107), for regulating relative positions of the various components in order to power a user through a natural walking motion, with the first and second mechanical transmission mechanisms (111, 113) aiding in evening out torque over the ranges of motion, while also increasing the range of motion where the torque generators (106, 107) can produce a non-zero torque.
