Abstract

A prosthesis with a support part on which a pivot joint is secured or formed. A distal prosthesis component is secured to the support part via the pivot joint, and the pivot joint allows a flexion and extension of the distal prosthesis component about a pivot axis relative to the receiving element or to the support part. A damping device, spring device, and/or actuator is arranged between the distal prosthesis component and the support part, and the damping device, spring device, and/or actuator is mounted on the distal prosthesis component using a first bearing point and is mounted on a lever or an arm using a second bearing point. The lever is mounted on the distal prosthesis component in a pivotal manner about a pivot axis. A distal portion of the arm is mounted on the lever, and a proximal portion is mounted on the support part.

Dependent claims

A prosthesis, comprising:

a support part;
a swivel joint is fastened or formed on the support part;
a distal prosthesis component is fastened on the support part via the swivel joint, the swivel joint allowing for a flexion and an extension of the distal prosthesis component about an axis of the joint relative to a receiving element or the support part;
at least one of a damping device, a spring device and an actuator device positioned between the distal prosthesis component and the support part, the at least one of the damping device, spring device and actuator device being mounted on the distal prosthesis component with a first bearing point and mounted on a lever or a connecting rod with a second bearing point, the lever being mounted on the distal prosthesis component so as to swivel about a swivel axis, and the connecting rod being mounted on the lever via a distal portion and mounted on the support part via a proximal portion.
