PROSTHETIC WALKING SYSTEM

摘要

A prosthetic walking system (450) including a pylon (452), a prosthetic ankle (410), and a prosthetic foot (454), any two or more of which can be integrally connected into a single, continuous unit. The prosthetic ankle can be a rearwardly-facing, generally C-shaped member, and may include an upper leg (414), an interconnecting portion (432), and a lower leg (424). The prosthetic ankle may include a weakened portion (441) so that the prosthetic walking system is better adapted to flex at the prosthetic ankle rather than at the pylon. A link or link assembly (455) can be coupled to at least one of the pylon and the upper leg of the prosthetic ankle and to at least one of the lower leg of the prosthetic ankle and the prosthetic foot in order to limit the displacement between the upper leg and the lower leg of the prosthetic ankle.
