    Publication number: 20120310371
    Abstract: Releasable prosthetic connectors are provided for use with prosthetic limbs and prosthetic mounting systems. The prosthetic connectors provide a secure, rigid connection between the prosthetic limb and the prosthetic mounting system under normal service loads. The prosthetic connectors provide safety release mechanisms which permit relative movement within the prosthetic connector when an excess load is experienced. The safety release mechanisms may be adjustable, and may include a warning system.
