Features 

 

Smooth walking 

The  product  is  named  “Symphony”  because  the 
knee  smoothly  harmonizes  between  the  stance 
phase  and  swing  phase  control.  The  p-MRS 
system controls shifting  from  the stance  phase  to 
the swing phase seamlessly.  

High stability of stance and Stance-Flexion function 

 

The  6-bar  linkage  using  the  p-MRS  system 
identifies  floor  reaction  force  positions  and 
controls  the  knee  stability.  The  Stance-Flexion 
feature will reduce an impact at the heel strike and 
also reduce bobbing of center-of-mass. 

Locking of knee by selective lock (optional) 

 

The  user  can  lock  the  knee  by  himself/herself. 
Whenever  the  user  needs  stability,  for  example, 
while  working  at  standing  posture,  walking  on 
snowy  road,  in  strong  winds  or  on  irregular 
ground,  he/she  can  lock  his/her  knee  to 
completely prevent knee buckling.
