COMPRESSION HEEL PROSTHETIC FOOT

摘要

A prosthetic foot comprises a resilient bottom member, a resilient top member, wherein the anterior top end is connected to the anterior bottom end of the resilient bottom member, and wherein the resilient top member is positioned over the resilient bottom member, and an elastomeric bumper member comprising a tapered surface configured to contact the resilient bottom member and attached to an underside of the posterior of the resilient top member. The prosthetic foot may further comprise a toe pad having a spacer coupled to, and creating space between, the bottom member and the top member, and an adhesive bonding one of the bottom member and one end of the top member, where the adhesive is commingled with the spacer between the first bottom end and the first top end.

1. A prosthetic foot comprising:
a resilient bottom member comprising a first bottom end and a second bottom end, and having no inflection point, wherein a radius of curvature from the first bottom end to the second bottom end of the resilient bottom member is above the prosthetic foot in an unloaded state; a resilient top member comprising a first top end and a second top end, wherein the first top end is connected to the first bottom end of the resilient bottom member, and wherein the resilient top member is positioned over the resilient bottom member; a toe piece coupling the first bottom end of the bottom member to the first top end of the top member; and an elastomeric bumper member attached to one of an underside of the second top end of the resilient top member and an upper side of the second bottom end of the resilient bottom member and disengaged in the unloaded state from the other of the underside of the second top end of the resilient top member and the upper side of the second bottom end of the resilient bottom member.
