Abstract

A prosthetic device includes an articular actuator assembly including a reduction gearbox that includes an actuating part connected to an output of the reduction gearbox and an actuated part integral with a distal portion of the prosthetic device. The actuating part and the actuated part are provided with abutment and reciprocal fitting. The abutment surfaces are provided on at least one protrusion of the actuating part and on at least one protrusion of the actuated part. In a decoupled condition the protrusion of the actuating part is positioned angularly, spaced from the protrusion of the actuated part and constitutes an end stop for the extension of the distal portion and allows free flexion of the distal portion. In a coupled condition the protrusions are in abutment with each other and actuate the relative rotation of the distal portion with respect to a proximal portion of the prosthetic device in extension.
