  • Publication number: 20230097882
    Abstract: A prosthetic device includes a footshell having a first portion and a second portion. The first portion has a first portion polymer lattice structure and the second portion has a second portion polymer lattice structure. The first portion polymer lattice structure has a first set of mechanical properties and the second portion polymer lattice structure has a second set of mechanical properties different from the first set of mechanical properties. The footshell also includes a sole attached to a bottom of the first portion and the second portion, wherein the sole is formed of a solid material.

  • Publication number: 20220211522
    Abstract: A prosthetic device includes a polymer lattice structure. The lattice structure includes a first surface arranged to face toward a residual limb, a second surface arranged to face away from the residual limb, a thickness between the first and second surfaces, and a variable lattice density across the thickness.

  • Publication number: 20220031477
    Abstract: A prosthetic device includes an elongate support member of carbon filament material having a first surface, and an adapter. The adapter includes a compressible member, a base portion having a contact surface arranged to contact the first surface of the support member, a cavity sized to receive the compressible member, and a connector portion extending from the base portion and configured to releasably secure the prosthetic foot to a prosthesis, wherein application of a force to the connector portion compresses the compressible member to dampen movement of the base portion relative to the support member until the contact surface contacts the first surface.

  • Publication number: 20220015929
    Abstract: A prosthetic device and related methods includes an elongate support member having a first surface, and an adapter mounted to the support member. The adapter includes a base portion, a movable member, a connector portion, and an adjustment member. The adjustment member is operable to move the movable member relative to the base portion to change an effective length of an interface between the adapter and the first surface of the support member. The connector portion extends from the base portion and is configured to releasably secure the prosthetic foot to a prosthesis.

  • Publication number: 20200179138
    Abstract: A prosthetic foot having a base spring having a toe end portion and a heel end portion, and a top spring assembly. The top spring assembly includes a first spring member having a distal end and a proximal end, a second spring member spaced apart from the first spring member along substantially an entire length of the first spring member, the second spring member having a distal end and a proximal end, a first bond connection provided between the distal ends of the first and second spring members, a second bond connection provided between the distal end of the second spring member and a top surface of the base spring in a forefoot portion of the base spring, and a spring connector extending through at least a first hole formed in the base spring, the second bond connection and the second spring member.
