摘要： A prosthetic foot includes an elongated foot member, extending between a toe section positioned at a toe location of a natural foot and a heel section positioned at a heel location of a natural foot. The elongated foot member also extends through an elevated arch section positioned between the toe section and heel section at an approximate arch location of a natural foot. An arch block is disposed below the elongated foot member under the elevated arch section. The arch block is sized and shaped to substantially fill a space or volume under the arch section. The arch block has geometric and physical properties that facilitate medial to lateral rotation to the prosthetic foot.

摘要： A prosthetic foot incorporate a foot keel and a calf shank connected to the foot keel to form an ankle joint area of the prosthetic foot. The foot keel has forefoot and hindfoot portions and a relatively long midfoot portion extending between and upwardly arched from the forefoot and midfoot portions. The calf shank includes a downward convexly curved lower end which is attached at a portion thereof to the keel midfoot portion by way of an adjustable fastener arrangement. The foot has biplanar motion capability and, in a preferred form, also has high low dynamic response characteristics. The adjustable fastener arrangement permits adjustment of the alignment of the calf shank and the foot keel with respect to one another in the longitudinal direction of the foot keel for tuning the performance of the prosthetic foot.

摘要： A prosthetic foot (70) incorporates a foot keel (71) and a calf shank (72) connected to the foot keel to form an ankle joint area of the prosthetic foot. The foot keel has forefoot and hindfoot portions and an upwardly arched midfoot portion extending between the forefoot and midfoot portions. The calf shank includes a downward convexly curved lower end which is secured to the foot keel by way of a coupling element (73). The lower end of the calf shank extends upwardly, and initially anteriorly therefrom into a reversely curved portion (75) of the calf shank leading to an upstanding upper end thereof.

摘要： Systems and method for monitoring gait dynamics are disclosed. The performance of an orthotic or prosthetic device or other device associated with a limb may be measured based on the resistance of a bending sensor. Data from the sensors is gathered or processed, particularly for purposes of alignment, safety, failure, usage, selection, and artificial proprioception. Information relating to the device may be outputted visually or auditorily to an individual.

摘要： A prosthetic foot device includes an elongated continuous cantilever-spring, extending from an attachment section coupleable to a stump of an amputee to a toe section at a toe location of a natural foot. The cantilever-spring is elastically deformable under a load to store energy as the amputee steps onto the cantilever-spring and to release energy as the amputee steps off of the cantilever-spring. A cam is pivotally coupled to the cantilever-spring at a pivot. A resistance arm is coupleable to the stump of the amputee, and extends to a displaceable section engaging the cam. A lever arm is attached to the cantilever-spring and engages the cam. The cam operatively inter-couples the cantilever-spring and the resistance arm to elastically deform the resistance arm along with the cantilever-spring to collectively store more energy than the cantilever-spring alone.

摘要： Features for a high performance prosthetic foot are provided in a package suitable for use with Symes and reverse-Symes amputees. The foot has a very low profile despite incorporating ankle-type torsional features complete with biasing. Other optional features are presented by way of a dual-rate padding spring system, that convincingly allow for both walking and running (together with related tasks like jumping) by way of a single prosthetic setup. Additional features may be provided in the padding springs directed toward more natural foot movement and response. The foot may be provided alone, in connection with a prosthetic socket and be bare or encased in order to appear more natural.

摘要： A prosthetic foot device includes an ankle section with a discrete, straight section in a substantially vertical orientation with a curved section on both sides. An attachment member can be coupled to a limb of an amputee. An elongated forefoot portion can have an upper attachment section attached to the attachment member, and can extend downwardly through the ankle section positioned at an ankle location of a natural foot, and forwardly through an arch section, to a toe section positioned at a toe location of a natural foot. The first curved section can interconnect the attachment section and the straight section, while the second curved section can interconnect the straight section and the arch section.

摘要： An improved lower leg prosthesis is disclosed for providing an improved performance, including improved stability and improved multi-axial compliance. The prosthesis includes a two-part lower foot plate, incorporating a forefoot plate and a heel plate, and an upper foot plate that is attached to the forefoot and heel plates by a two-part intermediate elastomeric layer. Forming the lower foot plate and the elastomeric layer each in two parts ensures that the forefoot plate and heel plate function substantially independently of each other, which leads to substantially improved cushioning at heel strike and to improved stability throughout the gait cycle.
