Transfemoral prosthetic users have motor functional impairments during running. A major impairment is unintended prosthetic knee flexion during weight bearing on the prosthetic side. Therefore, the present study aims to develop a passive mechanism for a transfemoral prosthetic knee to prevent flexion during the prosthetic stance phase. The proposed mechanism has a single axis for prosthetic knee flexion–extension. The shaft that functions as the prosthetic knee joint axis can move 3 mm along the long axis of the shank part to change functions between the stance and the swing phase. The prosthetic knee joint limits only flexion and allows extension possible during the stance phase. However, it rotates freely (flexion–extension) during the prosthetic swing phase. These functions of the proposed mechanism were verified using a rough prototype. The he participant with the attached prosthetic limb prototype performed level walking with habitual gait velocity on a 10 m straight walkway. The result shows that the kinematic data of the hip, knee, and ankle were similar to able-bodied gait. Moreover, the mechanism was able to mechanically limit only the flexion with compression force acting along the shank part. These proposed mechanisms and results of the preliminary trial suggest that transfemoral amputees can run safely.
