Abstract: A prosthetic foot has a frame, a forefoot keel, a heel keel, and an adjustable spring member. The frame couples to a prosthetic leg. The forefoot keel includes a first resilient substrate extending from the frame to the anterior end of the foot. The heel keel member includes a second resilient substrate extending from the frame to the posterior end. The first and second resilient substrates are load bearing substrates for a walking human. The adjustable spring member includes a third resilient substrate and a brake. The third resilient substrate has a first end directly or indirectly coupled to the brake, and a second end coupled to the forefoot keel proximate to the anterior end. The third resilient substrate extends through or around the first resilient member and the second resilient member. The brake provides resistance to the travel of the first end of the third resilient substrate in the superior direction.

Abstract: A prosthetic ankle joint consisting of an upper housing (1) and a lower housing (2) which are connected to and rotate about a shared axis (3). A plurality of motion members (5) are utilized to control the motion of the ankle joint through weight-bearing and non weight-bearing conditions. The presence or absence of an adjustable anterior element (12) and posterior element (13) will dictate the allowable relative motion of the lower housing to the upper housing. The upper receptacle (4) allows the ankle to be attached to a tube clamp adapter (15) and pylon (8). The lower receptacle (14) allows for the rigid attachment of a prosthetic foot (16).
