Abstract
The invention relates to a prosthetic foot comprising a main body (10), a proximal connection device (15) for connecting the prosthetic foot (1) to a further prosthesis component, and a foot-front component (12) which is pivotally mounted on the main body (10) and which is associated with a resistance device (20), which resistance device retards plantar flexion of the foot-front component (12), wherein the foot-front component (12) is mounted on the main body (10) via at least one resilient component (30, 31, 32) which moves the foot-front component (12) back into a starting position after a deflection.
Claims16
A prosthetic foot, comprising:
- a main body;
- a forefoot component;
- at least one elastic component;
- a proximal attachment device for connecting the prosthetic foot to a further prosthetic component and to the forefoot component,
- wherein the forefoot component is mounted pivotably on the main body;
- and
- a resistance device connected to the main body which retards plantar flexion of the forefoot component,
- wherein the forefoot component is mounted on the main body via the at least one elastic component which provides in combination with the resistance device a delayed movement of the forefoot component back into a starting position after a dorsiflexion deflection by acting against resistance provided by the resistance device.
