A hinge assembly for use in an orthopedic or prosthetic system includes first and second connection members arranged to rotate relative to one another about at least one pivot point. At least one shaft member is rotatably attached to the first connection member. A translating member is attached to the at least one shaft member and is operatively connected to or meshes with the second connection member. Rotation of the at least one shaft member drives translation of the translating member along a length of the at least one shaft member. Translation of the translating member along the shaft member drives rotation of the second connection member relative to the first connection member.
