MULTI-AXIAL FITTING WITH SHOCK ABSORPTION FOR PROSTHETIC FOOT

摘要

A fitting (200) for a prosthetic foot permits multi-axial movement of the prosthetic foot with respect to a lower limb prosthesis and provides shock absorption. The multi-axial fitting (200) has a mount (210), a base (230), and a shock absorbing resilient member (250) disposed between the mount (210) and the base (230). The resilient member (250) is torqueable and compressible under force, providing shock absorption, rotation, medial lateral movement and dorsiflexion of the prosthetic foot with respect to the lower limb prosthesis.
