HRC adjustable pneumatic swing-phase control knee.
Since 1972 the Hyogo Rehabilitation Centre has been developing a variable-resistance-type pneumatic control device, the HRC Adjustable Pneumatic Swing-Phase Control Knee. Successful field tests have been carried out on 20 cases with Model IV since 1973 with only a limited number of mechanical troubles. This paper introduces the HRC adjustable pneumatic swing-phase control knee with follow-up studies.
