Abstract

A dynamic knee-brace system (DKBS) has been designed which provides stance phase stability and swing phase freedom. A wrap-spring clutch controls knee flexion. Clutch optimization was performed minimizing clutch length. Kinematic tests on a normal subject using the DKBS document nearly normal dynamic knee flexion during swing (38 degrees versus 53 degrees for normal).
