Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A transtibial prosthetic device comprises a pylon configured as a unitary truss structure formed of a plurality of elongated supports interconnected at nodes and having open spaces between supports of the plurality of elongated supports. The unitary truss structure comprises a polymer. A foot-ankle complex extends from a base of the pylon. The foot-ankle complex comprises an s-shaped posterior portion, an s-shaped anterior portion, and a sole portion. The s-shaped posterior portion and the s-shaped anterior portion both extend from the sole portion, have upper portions with curvatures that are concentric with each other, and are separated from each other by a gap.
