PROSTHETIC FOOT WITH HEEL ADJUSTEMENT MECHANISM

摘要

An artificial foot comprises an ankle member (12), a heel member (14) and a toe member (16) pivotably connected together. The toe member is formed with an elongated slot (104) therethrough extending longitudinally rearwardly from a forward end of the toe member and bifurcating the toe member into two symmetrically positioned and substantially mirror imaged toe sections (102) that diverge in separate generally anterior directions from a pivotable connection (20) of the toe member to the heel member with a weight supporting section (108) at each toe section. The pivotable connection (20) for resiliently resisted pivotal movement is about a transverse axle. The heel member and the toe member each has a central abutment shoulder (80, 98) that abut each other to define an end limit to downward pivotable movement of a forward section of the toe member with respect to the heel member.
