Abstract
A multi-articulated link knee joint includes: a knee unit in which an upper link unit rotates relative to a lower link unit by a multi-articulated link mechanism including a plurality of link units including the upper link unit and the lower link unit; a relative position detector for detecting a relative position of the upper link unit relative to the lower link unit; and an angle detector for obtaining a bending angle of the knee unit from the detected relative position.

A multi-articulated link knee joint comprising:
- a knee unit in which an upper link unit is structured to rotate relative to a lower link unit by a multi-articulated link mechanism including a plurality of link units including the upper link unit and the lower link unit;
- a relative position detector structured to detect a relative position, relative to a certain link unit among the plurality of link units, of another link unit;
- and
- an angle detector structured to obtain a bending angle of the knee unit from the detected relative position.
