- The four-bar linkage mechanism used by many designers for the knee joint of an above-knee prosthesis can provide knee rotation suitable for walking only. In Afro-Asian countries pepole are habituated to the squatting posture in their daily activities. A six-bar linkage knee-ankle mechanism above-knee prosthesis with a pneumatic swing phase control is developed and its analysis shows its suitability for producing a motion closely resembling that of a normal subject during walking and squatting.
