A prosthetic foot possessing a forefoot keel cluster ( 1 ) which is comprised of three distinct keels. The keels are functionally connected to one another by way of an anterior pitched glider ( 6 ) which is positioned above the two lower keels and beneath the upper keel. The anterior pitched glider ( 6 ) is tapped and houses an anterior screw ( 7 ) which acts as a worm gear to reposition the glider with respect to the forementioned keels of the forefoot keel cluster ( 1 ). The position of the glider determines the functional lengths of the two lower keels and their associated deflection properties. A rearfoot keel cluster ( 2 ) also exists with a posterior pitched glider ( 14 ) and posterior screw ( 15 ) that serves a matching function to that of the anterior pitched glider ( 6 ) found in the forefoot keel cluster ( 1 ). The rearfoot keel cluster ( 2 ) is functionally connected to the forefoot keel cluster ( 1 ) by way of a keel divider ( 10 ). The entire prosthetic foot can be attached to standard prosthetic componentry by way of an endoskeletal adapter ( 18 ) found on top of the keel divider ( 10 ).
