  • Publication number: 20230157850
    Abstract: A prosthetic system with a prosthesis, which has two prosthetic parts that are pivotally connected together about a joint axis via a prosthetic joint with a joint upper part and with a joint lower part, and a cover element, which at least partly covers a gap between the two prosthetic parts or between one prosthetic part and the joint lower part. The cover element is pivotally mounted about a pivot axis on one prosthetic part, a component of a cosmetic prosthetic element, said component being secured to one prosthetic part or one joint part or the prosthetic joint and is coupled to the joint upper part of the prosthetic joint via at least one coupling element in a form- and/or force-fitting manner such that a pivotal movement of the prosthetic parts about the joint axis leads to a simultaneous pivotal movement of the cover element about the pivot axis.
