PROSTHETIC FOOT

A prosthetic foot comprising an internal keel (1) and an encapsulation material (2). The keel (1) is made of two parts (3,4), namely an elastic ankle (3) and an elastic blade (4), to ensure a behaviour of the prosthesis as close as possible to the biomechanics of a sound human foot (plantar flexion,...

Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A prosthetic foot comprising an internal keel (1) and an encapsulation material (2). The keel (1) is made of two parts (3,4), namely an elastic ankle (3) and an elastic blade (4), to ensure a behaviour of the prosthesis as close as possible to the biomechanics of a sound human foot (plantar flexion, dorsiflexion, inversion, eversion). The materials and design used for the keel (1) allow storing and releasing strain energy at the right phases of the gait cycle. Elastomeric foams act as safety features in specific areas to prevent keel overloading. The keel (1) is preferably encapsulated into two types of foam to fill internal space and as cosmetic feature as it has a human foot shape.
