ARTIFICIAL FOOT WITHOUT ARTICULATIONS

摘要

An artificial foot without articulations has an elastically deformable heel structure (9) that extends vertically from a sole region to an ankle region and an elastically deformable forefoot structure (10) which extends in the longitudinal direction from the ankle region to a toe region. The heel structure (9) and/or the forefoot structure (10) comprise at least two members (2, 5; 2, 11) which are arranged one behind the other in the vertical direction of the heel structure (9) or in the longitudinal direction of the forefoot structure (10), are movable relative to one another and form a variable gap (3; 22, 23) between the two members. A controllable actuation mechanism, an element which can be controlled by the activated actuation mechanism and engages the gap (3, 22) so as to influence the distance between the members (2, 4; 2, 11), and a resetting mechanism for the controllable element permit automatic adaptation to the walking and standing use modes.
