Abstract: A simple, wide ranging multi-axial foot (10) with energy return and/or storage. An upper member (30) and a spaced apart lower member (20) are joined through a post (24) connected to the lower member (20) and a ball joint (29) connected to the upper member (30). One buffer (40, 42) is located anterior to the ball joint-post (29, 24), one buffer (40, 42) is located posterior to the ball joint-post (29, 24). A heel member and heel buffer provide additional energy storage and return.

Abstract: The present invention in one embodiment is a vacuum pump including a compressible elastomeric member with an internal reservoir enclosing a volume of fluid, an outlet port providing fluid communication between the internal reservoir and a fluid sink, and an inlet port providing fluid communication between the internal reservoir and a fluid source. The pump further includes first and second pressure elements coupled to the elastomeric member on opposing sides. At least one of the first and second pressure elements is adapted to apply a longitudinal force along, and a rotational force about, an axis extending through the compressible elastomeric member. Upon the application of a longitudinal compression force to the compressible elastomeric member, fluid flows from the internal reservoir to the fluid sink and upon the application of a longitudinal expansion force, fluid flows from the fluid source to the internal reservoir. Upon the application of a rotational force, the elastomeric member exerts a counter-rotational force.

Abstract: A vacuum pump (120) having shock absorption and controlled rotation for use in an artificial limb. The pump includes a housing (220) having a first chamber, and a shaft (210) configured to be received by and to reciprocate within the first chamber, the housing and shaft forming a pump chamber (223). A piston (216) may be coupled to the shaft and positioned within the pump chamber, and intake (225) and exhaust (226) ports are fluidly coupled to the pump chamber. Rotational structure (230-234) is mounted with respect to the pump to provide controlled rotation of the shaft relative to the housing, and shock absorption structure is included within the pump to provide shock absorption for the shaft. Both a pneumatic spring (260) and a mechanical spring element (250) may be provided for the shock absorption structure. An optional adapter (212) couples the shaft to the pylon of an integral pylon prosthetic foot.
