Modular prosthetic devices and prosthesis system

An adjustable connector for a prosthesis system, comprising:

• an upper plate adapted to adjustably connect to a component of the prosthesis system adjacent a residual limb;
• a lower plate below the upper plate and adapted to adjustably connect to the upper plate and to a shank or an other prosthetic device below the lower plate;
• and
• a plurality of rocker bolt assemblies adapted to adjustably connect the lower plate to the upper plate thereby providing for an adjustable connection between the component of the prosthesis system adjacent the residual limb and the shank or an other prosthetic device,
• whereby the adjustable connection provides for a concurrently made plurality of directional adjustments and/or angular adjustments of a position of the component of the prosthesis system relative to the shank or an other prosthetic device while the component of the prosthesis system is on the residual limb,
• wherein each rocker bolt assembly has a hollow threaded socket that extends downward through one of a plurality of apertures in a bottom surface of the upper plate and further downward through one of a plurality of adjacent corresponding apertures in an upper surface of the lower plate, the hollow threaded socket adapted to receive a threaded bolt.

• a lower plate below the upper plate and adapted to adjustably connect to the upper plate and to a shank or an other prosthetic device below the lower plate;
• and
• a plurality of fasteners adapted to adjustably connect the lower plate to the upper plate, thereby providing for an adjustable connection between the component of the prosthesis system adjacent the residual limb and the shank or an other prosthetic device,
• whereby the adjustable connection provides for a concurrently made plurality of directional adjustments and/or angular adjustments of a position of the component of the prosthesis system relative to the shank or an other prosthetic device,
• wherein at least one of the fasteners is a rocker bolt assembly, and
• wherein each rocker bolt assembly has a hollow threaded socket that extends downward through one of a plurality of apertures in a bottom surface of the upper plate and further downward through one of a plurality of adjacent corresponding apertures in an upper surface of the lower plate, the hollow threaded socket adapted to receive a threaded bolt.

• a lower plate below the upper plate and adapted to adjustably connect to the upper plate and to a shank or an other prosthetic device below the lower plate,
• wherein at least a portion of a bottom surface of the upper plate is convex and at least a portion of an upper surface of the lower plate is concave and adapted to receive at least part of the convex portion of the bottom surface of the upper plate;
• and
• a plurality of rocker bolt assemblies adapted to adjustably connect the lower plate to the upper plate, thereby providing for an adjustable connection between the component of the prosthesis system adjacent the residual limb and the shank or an other prosthetic device,
• whereby the adjustable connection provides for a concurrently made plurality of directional adjustments and/or angular adjustments of a position of the component of the prosthesis system relative to the shank or an other prosthetic device,
• wherein the directional adjustments are selected from a group consisting of a forward adjustment, a backward adjustment, a side-to-side adjustment, a rotational adjustment, and combinations thereof, and
• wherein each rocker bolt assembly has a hollow threaded socket that extends downward through one of a plurality of apertures in the bottom surface of the upper plate and further downward through one of a plurality of adjacent corresponding apertures in the upper surface of the lower plate, the hollow threaded socket adapted to receive a threaded bolt.
