  A prosthesis socket is fitted with a viscoelastic memory material. The material can aspirate a fluid to decrease the interior volume of the socket to compensate for residual limb volume decreases

  and fluid can be removed from the viscoelastic memory material to increase the interior volume of the socket to compensate for residual limb volume increases.

  Equilibrium socket system

  US9345590B2

  A vacuum pump system for a prosthesis device includes an enhanced suspension mechanism and cooperates with a pressure source

  an adaptor assembly

  circuitry

  and a power source. A virtually air-tight seal between a residual limb and a socket of the prosthesis allows a vacuum fit to be generated by the pump system. The pump system may be controlled with various circuits and processors receiving instructions from a software program. The pump system may be located within a pylon

  but yet remain vibrationally and acoustically de-coupled from the pylon.

  Control System for Prosthesis

  US20110060421A1

  A prosthetic foot assembly is disclosed. The assembly includes a pivoting ankle joint with a hydraulic system

  a prosthetic foot connected to the distal side of the ankle joint

  and

  at the proximal side

  the ankle joint includes a transducer with pyramid adaptor for attaching to a pylon. The ankle joint sensor provides data collection during the stance and optionally

  the swing

  phases of walking using

  for example

  strain gages and accelerometers. Also disclosed are methods for real-time feature extraction. Key parameters are captured to which are applied linear

  fuzzy logic

  neural net

  or generic algorithms to determine current state (walking flat

  uphill

  downhill etc.) in real time and execute changes to the angle between the ankle and foot almost instantaneously based on those parameters.

  A valve includes a case comprising a pin bore

  a pin configured to move axially in the pin bore

  wherein the pin seals the pin bore

  a first channel in communication with the pin bore

  a second channel in communication with the pin bore

  wherein the second channel comprises a restrictor at a location offset from the first channel

  a third channel in communication with the pin bore

  wherein the third channel comprises a check valve

  and the second channel and third channel are in communication with each other. The valve can be a miniature valve that is used in the control of hydraulic fluid in prosthesis

  such as a prosthetic ankle joint.

  Fall risk assessment device and method

  A method for assessing the risk of a patient to fall. The method includes attaching a pedometer on a patient

  wherein the pedometer includes one or more sensors

  allowing the patient to engage in activities throughout a predetermined period of time in

  at least

  an environment the patient occupies for a majority of the day while the pedometer senses information relating to steps taken by the patient. With one or more computers or with the pedometer

  calculating at least one step variable from the acceleration information. With one or more computers or with the pedometer

  comparing the at least one calculated step variable to a model step variable

  and with one or more computers. Then

  providing an assessment of the risk of the patient to fall. The pedometer may alert the patient when a risk of falling is detected.
