    摘要: Embodiments of the invention relate to a prosthetic, orthotic, or robotic foot having at least two joints (8003, 8004). One joint is located in a position analogous to the human MTP joint (8003), and the other is located in a position analogous to the human subtalar joint (8004). Motions of these two joints are mechanically couples. Furthermore, these joints (8003, 8004) are created using “tensegrity” design principals, where connections between the compression members are made by a network of tension members. These tension members create axes of motion, and limitations on those axes of motion. Actuators or linear elastic “springs” are use to alter the torque/angular deflection response curve of these joints, so that the rollover profile of the human foot can be duplicated by this invention.

    摘要: An artificial foot device may include a talus body (100), a core (200) operatively coupled with the talus body by a first joint (12), and a toe (300) operatively coupled with the core by a second joint (14). A vertical restraint link (5000) between the toe and the core and provides a coupling for the second joint. A toe insert (3000) limits motion of the toe relative to the core. A toe bushing (1000) receives a tension member for operatively coupling the toe to the talus body. The vertical restraint link, toe insert and bushing constrains relative movement between the core and the toe at the second joint. Relative movement of the core and the talus body at the first joint is guided and constrained by pivot bearings (7000). Constrained relative movement between the talus body and the core corresponds to a coordinated movement of a first joint and a second joint during ambulation of a natural human foot.

    摘要: An artificial foot device, comprising: a talus body; a core pivotably coupled with the talus body at a first joint; and a biasing assembly (290) acting between the talus and the core at the first joint; wherein the talus body pivots about the first joint and causes the biasing assembly to provide a torque response for the artificial foot device; the first joint comprises a lateral axle (124a) extending from the talus body; pivot bearings are coupled to the lateral axle; and the talus body pivots about the pivot bearings and the pivot bearings slide along the core.
