Abstract:
An artificial knee is configured to be worn by a person. Artificial knees include a thigh link configured to move in unison with a thigh of the person, and a shank link configured to be coupled to the thigh link. Artificial knees include a compression spring coupled to the thigh link at a first end of the compression spring, the compression spring configured to be coupled to the shank link at a second end of the compression spring. The compression spring is configured to provide an extension torque between the thigh link and the shank link during a first range of motion of the thigh link and the shank link relative to each other. The compression spring is configured to provide a flexion torque between the thigh link and the shank link during a second range of motion of the thigh link and the shank link relative to each other.

Claim (Index 6):
The artificial knee of  claim 1 , wherein the artificial knee further comprises:\n a follower link, wherein the compression spring is coupled to the shank link at the second end via the follower link such that the thigh link, the shank link, the follower link, and the compression spring form a four bar linkage having rotary joints, and a constraint configured to constrain a motion of the follower link relative to the shank link during the first range of motion and the second range of motion of the thigh link and the shank link relative to each other.
