The knee has a polycentric design comprising pivots connecting a chassis to a main
body via three link arms. A hand operated spring loaded pin operates within a latched

clamped a foot/shin component. The shin may be shortened to suit the user . The sole
of the foot features an anti-slip tread pattern.
