Problem Statement

Fillauer, a leading manufacture of prosthetics and orthotics in the world, would like an incremental motion orthotic knee joint. Fillauer currently manufactures a free motion orthotic knee joint called the KingPin Lock. This device does not allow the incremental motion desired. The new design of an incremental device would allow the patient more knee stability and control to the user through an incremental range of knee flexion while transitioning from the sitting position to the standing position.
