The knee jointis equipped with a connecting rod, one end of which is connected so as to be freely rotatable with respect to an axisof the crus linkand the other end of which is connected so as to be freely rotatable to an axisof the thigh link, and a distance varying mechanismwhich changes the distance between an axisof the crus linkand an axisof the thigh linkby a driving force of an electric motor. When a bending angle of the knee jointis 0 degree, a sum of the distance between the axisand axisand the distance between the axisand the axis, is smaller than the distance between the axisand the axis
