An artificial knee joint, with ball and socket, has a tapered ball head detachable from a conical gudgeon pin which projects from a shaft fixed in the lower leg, and the socket has a rear space through which the ball head moves. The device permits almost natural freedom of movement and ...
They are connected by a joint (2). The upper end of the lower rod, and/or the joint, are guided in movement direction of the ram (5). The joint consists of a ball and socket joint. The guide is fastened to the press frame (7). The end of the lower rod engaging into the ram...
allowing for more movement than in a suture. An example of a syndesmosis is the joint of the tibia and fibula in the ankle. The amount of movement in these types of joints is determined by the length of the connective tissue fibers.Gomphosesoccur between teeth and their sockets; the ...
Schematic block diagram of the Human Movement Control System (A) in parallel with the Artificial Movement Control System (B).Three kinds of interactions between the HMCS and AMCS can be distinguished: (I) detection of the motion intention of the user; (II) provision of feedback to the user...

Articulation about the two alternative axes is provided by a ball (8) and socket (11) joint, a pedestal mounted ball (8) being supported by a bracket (6) which is fixed to the static surround frame (5). A sleeve hinge (4) which is fixed to the vertical edge of the sash frame (...
ball pin (1) and also provides for the construction of an elongated housing (12) in the housing cover of the ball-and-socket joint, wherein in the housing of the projection (11) of the spherical end of the ball pin (1) is accommodated, is mounted when the ball and socket joint. Fo...
As the latter joint comprises a ball and socket joint, the changes of the position of the rotational axis of this joint have been measured. No simple rule could be found which allowed the control of more than one joint of a leg by a common control parameter. Co-ordination of the joints...
the present disclosure relates to a movement-tolerant wiring arrangement comprising single features of claim1and a rotary joint, a socket, or a stand device, respectively with such a wiring arrangement, and the use of such wiring arrangement at a stand device, in particular, in the operating ro...
Prosthetic device comprises an artificial socket to be cemented onto the iliac bone and a separate component comprises a spike for anchorage in the femur and connected via an offset neck to a ball and sized to suit the socket component, where one or both the mating ball and socket surfaces ...
