  • Publication number: 20240024134
    Abstract: A method for connecting at least two structural parts of an orthopedic component, wherein the structural parts are retained in an orienting device while oriented in relation to each other, and an intermediate space thus being formed between the structural parts. The orienting device and the structural parts together form a cavity, which has a flow connection to at least one feed connection, via which an adhesive for adhesively bonding the structural parts is introduced into the cavity.

  • Publication number: 20230301804
    Abstract: The invention relates to a prosthetic foot with a foot part 2 and a lower leg part 4 that is connected to the foot part 2 such that it can be pivoted about a pivot axis 6 and that can be locked in various pivot angles relative to the foot part 2, the connection between the lower leg part 4 and the foot part 2 having a clearance in the pivot direction when the foot part 2 is locked on the lower leg part 4, the prosthetic foot having at least one friction element 14 arranged between the foot part 2 and the lower leg part 4 and applying a frictional torque that counteracts a pivoting of the foot part 2 relative to the lower leg part 4 when the foot part 2 is locked relative to the lower leg part 4.

  • Patent number: 10441440
    Abstract: A prosthesis with a lower limb attachment part, a foot part, a connection element with a joint function that connects the lower limb attachment part with the foot part, and a release device which can be brought into a locking position in which the foot part and the lower limb attachment part are connected to each other in a rotationally fixed manner at least relative to a dorsal extension movement, and into a release position in which the foot part can be rotated relative to the lower limb attachment part. The release device is designed to passively switch from the locking position into the release position when a variable which correlates to an ankle torque (M) in the connection element lies above a pre-set threshold.

  • Patent number: 10299942
    Abstract: A prosthetic foot insert with upper attachment member, a roof spring extending forwards from the upper attachment means, and a base spring coupled to the roof spring at least two points. A rear coupling element is provided for supporting the base spring, and a free space is formed between the coupling element, the roof spring and the base spring. The base spring, in the heel area, protrudes rearwards as a free lever beyond the rear coupling element.

  • Publication number: 20190070022
    Abstract: A prosthetic foot with a structural component having a proximal attachment member for fastening the prosthetic foot to a below-knee tube, a below-knee shaft or a prosthetic knee joint, with a forefoot portion secured or formed on the structural component, and with a heel-side spring-damper system which is assigned to the structural component and which is compressed at a heel strike and bears on a sole-side guide element. The structural component is designed as a leaf spring which extends in a posterior direction from the proximal attachment means, and forms an arch and is guided in an anterior and distal direction, wherein the arch protrudes posteriorly beyond the guide element.
