 Technology Profile

Title:

Electronic Knee

Value Proposition:

The Electronic Knee consists of sensor like Electro-goniometer and Force Resistive Sensor and Accelerometer as sensor mechanisms. Knee design is based on controlling a swing phase using a pneumatic cylinder mechanism attached with the embedded control mechanism to its control its flow control valve. The required energy to extend the knee into new gait cycle is provided by a spring mechanism. Three Variant (Electronic Sensor, Remote and Mechanical) of knee is developed. The knee adapts to patient movement style in real time with the integration of indigenously developed electro-goniometer, force resistive sensor and accelerometer in order to control the swing phase dynamically.

Summary Application:

For artificial knees

Advantages:

Offers adaptation of patients movement style real time
