ABSTRACT:
An improved cable guide assembly applicable to machinery, scientific instruments and prosthetic devices. When subjected to varying rotational and directional cable stress the assembly has the ability to automatically align itself so that cable stress is minimized. The assembly is particularly applicable to prosthetic devices and, in addition to extending cable life in such devices from six weeks or less to more than one year, the occasional changing of the cables is remarkably facilitated.
