Foot prosthesis having curved forefoot

摘要: A foot prosthesis is provided for attaching to a socket or pylon fitted the stump of an amputee. The includes forefoot portion constructed resilient polymer-encapsulated fiber laminate and having upper attachment section, curved intermediate section lower forward extending section. shape generally parabolic J-shaped so as provide smooth support amputee during normal walking running activities without producing undue stress concentration in prosthetic foot, which could otherwise degrade integrity foot. An arcuate toe provides rolling contact with ground surface toe-off, simulating stride feel natural human heel portion, also formed polymer encapsulated material, attaches under order enhanced comfort energy absorption heel-strike. strength resilience characteristics portions may be adjusted by interchanging like elements accommodate amputees different sizes, weights activity levels.
