Abstract
The invention relates to a join mechanism of a knee orthosis or knee prosthesis, having a first part (), a second part (), which is pivotable relative to the latter, and attachment means () for securing the joint mechanism () to a user of the knee orthosis or knee prosthesis, and having a locking mechanism () with which a pivoting of the two parts () relative to each other in a flexion direction is prevented by a form-fit element () which is arranged movably on the second part () and which, in the locking state, engages with a form fit in a recess () assigned to the first part (), wherein the form-fit element () is mounted rotatably on the second part () and has a contour which, in the locked position, protrudes into the recess () and, in the released position, allows the first part () to pivot past the bearing of the form-fit element ().
