Prosthesis coupling, a socket coupling, a rotary connector core and a compliant mounting element

Abstract

A rotatable and removable wrist connection for a prosthetic hand. A prosthesis coupling includes first and second ball race sections that may be moved together or apart to constrain ball bearings to an inner zone or an outer zone to allow the prosthesis coupling to be secured to or removed from a socket coupling. A socket coupling includes a socket body for receiving a wrist coupling having a rotary connector core extending from the socket body and compliantly mounted to the socket body.
