Estimating the term…
The present invention is an articulated orthopaedic foot (100) with shock absorption, which prevents the impact produced in each foot-loading cycle when walking or running, providing natural movement and stability for the user, the foot being adaptable to irregular surfaces and comprising: a central pin (1) pivotably joined to a pair of metatarsal plates (2); an instep subsystem (101) solidly joined to the pair of metatarsal plates (2) by securing means; an ankle subsystem (102) pivotably joined to the central pin (1), metatarsal shock-absorbing means (40) being positioned between the ankle subsystem (102) and the instep subsystem (101); a calcaneus support (13) pivotably joined to the central pin (1), calcaneus shock-absorbing means (41) being positioned between the calcaneus support (13) and the ankle subsystem (102), to absorb impact when the user uses the articulated orthopaedic foot (100); and coupling means (20) positioned in the upper part of the ankle subsystem (102), for joining a tibia prosthesis to the articulated orthopaedic foot (100).
An articulated orthopedic foot (100) with impact absorption, which minimizes the impact that occurs in each weight load cycle of the foot when walking or running, delivering a natural movement and stability for a user, which is adaptable to irregular surfaces, CHARACTERIZED by comprising:
The orthopedic orthopedic foot (100) with impact absorption according to claim 2, CHARACTERIZED by additionally comprising a pair of support plates (4) which are pivotally attached to the central pin (1) and integrally with the calcaneus support (13) through fastening means, to increase the mechanical resistance of the articulated orthopedic foot (100).
