PROSTHETIC SPORT FEET

摘要

Various features for improving the performance of prosthetic sport feet are provided. A fairing for a prosthetic sport foot can include foam components that are coupled to the foot and an elastane cover. The fairing is configured to alter the cross-sectional profile of the foot to produce a more aerodynamic shape. A prosthetic sport foot can include a hollow foot member that can be lighter weight and provide improved performance. A prosthetic sport foot can include an adjustable tension strap extending between and coupled to two portions of the foot member. A prosthetic sport foot, such as a prosthetic running foot or prosthetic cycling foot, can include an aerodynamic fairing and a cover. A prosthetic sport foot can have a varying-width profile such that a mid-section of the foot is narrower and a toe portion flares outward.

主权项

1. A prosthetic foot comprising:
a prosthetic foot member extending between a proximal portion and a generally horizontal distal portion and curving concavely between the proximal portion and the distal portion; wherein at least one portion of the foot member comprises a substantially airfoil-shaped transverse cross-section.
