ABSTRACT:
An improved flexion biased prosthetic hip includes an extended biasing spring to permit hyperextension of the joint relative the frontal plane of the user. In addition, a bifurcated actuator rod is disclosed. This actuator rod transmits the biasing force of the extended biasing spring from a collar surrounding the leg pylon to the hip mounting plate. The bifurcated actuator rod eliminates the binding associated with the previously used actuator members that were formed as a plate with a roller contacting the pylon.
