  • Patent number: 10874529
    Abstract: A prosthetic foot cover for a prosthetic foot having a sagittal plane and a plantar surface including a first cover component having a first internal cavity and being adapted to receive and cover a first portion of the prosthetic foot, a second cover component having a second internal cavity and being adapted to receive and cover a second portion of the prosthetic foot, and a means for detachably attaching the first cover component and the second cover component to the prosthetic foot. The first internal cavity has a first internal cavity contacting surface that directly contacts the first portion of the prosthetic foot, and the second internal cavity has a second internal cavity contacting surface that directly contacts the second portion of the prosthetic foot. A method for installing the prosthetic foot cover on the prosthetic foot.

  • Publication number: 20170281372
    Abstract: A split toe blade comprising a medial toe member, a lateral toe member that is disposed adjacent to the medial toe member, and a connecting web that is disposed between the medial toe member and the lateral toe member. The preferred connecting web controls the amount of traverse compliance in the event an off-axis load is applied to the blade. A method comprising providing a split toe blade and applying an off-axis force to the blade.

  • Publication number: 20060069450
    Abstract: A foot prosthesis having improved rollover and stability. The prosthesis includes a first plate and a mounting block having a mounting portion configured to be coupled to a user of the prosthesis, an attachment portion and a gap portion, with the mounting block attached to the first plate at the attachment portion with a gap between the mounting block gap portion and the first plate. Also included is a resilient element positioned at least partially within the gap, the resilient element configured generally to dissipate stress in the first plate and control deflection between the first plate and the mounting block. The mounting block may be substantially rigid with the area of the first plate attached to the mounting block becoming substantially rigid while the remainder of the first plate is at least partially flexible. The resilient element may be interchangeable to adjust performance of the prosthesis.

  • Publication number: 20050261783
    Abstract: A fitting for a prosthetic foot permits multi-axial movement of the prosthetic foot with respect to a lower limb prosthesis and provides shock absorption. The multi-axial fitting has a mount, a base, and a shock absorbing resilient member disposed between the mount and the base. The resilient member is torqueable and compressible under force, providing shock absorption, rotation, medial lateral movement and dorsiflexion of the prosthetic foot with respect to the lower limb prosthesis.
