Unified Design Methodology for a Polycentric Transfemoral Knee Prosthesis Using Kinematic Synthesis by Mertcan Koçak, Erkin Gezgin

“…This study introduces a novel single-degree-of-freedom polycentric knee mechanism specifically designed for transfemoral prostheses to address dual challenges of stability during the stance phase and biomimetic motion during the swing phase. Leveraging analytical kinematic synthesis, the proposed mechanism integrates separate kinematic designs for each of the gait phases into a combined structure that prevents singularity issues during full knee flexion, which is a significant limitation in conventional active designs. …”
