Abstract
An angularly adjustable reversible prosthetic leg device (10) for use with a prosthetic socket (100) having a tube clamp adapter (101). The prosthetic leg device (10) includes an integrally formed leg pylon member (20) having an upper segment (22) adapted to be engaged by the tube clamp adapter (101), a concavo-convex intermediate segment (23), and a generally cylindrical lower segment (24) that is adapted to be reversibly received and angularly adjustable relative to the ankle segment (41) of a foot member (40) which also includes a toe segment (42) and a heel segment (43).
Claims20
An angularly adjustable reversible prosthetic leg device for use with a prosthetic socket having a tube clamp adapter wherein the device comprises:
- a leg unit including a leg pylon member having an upper segment adapted to be captively engaged by said tube clamp adapter, an intermediate segment, and a lower segment;
- a foot unit including a foot member having an ankle segment, a toe segment, and a heel segment wherein, the foot member is further provided with a recess extending downwardly through the ankle segment and dimensioned to slidably engage the lower segment of the leg pylon member in a lateral fashion;
- and,
- means for captively securing the leg pylon member at a desired angular orientation about a horizontal axis relative to the foot member.
