Title:
ARTIFICIAL FOOT
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2006000211
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
The invention relates to an artificial foot having a connecting part (3, 3') for a lower leg part (5), and a base foot part (1, 1') rotatably connected to the connecting part (3, 3') via an ankle joint (2). Said base foot part extends rearwards of the ankle joint (2) in a heel section (8) and forwards of the ankle joint (2) in a midfoot section (11, 11'). A forefoot part (12, 12') is rotatably connected to the midfoot section (11, 11'). In order to allow an automatic adaptation of the foot to varying heel heights while ensuring a good stability, an articulated connection transmits the angular position of the connecting part (3, 3') in relation to the base foot part (1, 1') in a proportional manner to the angular position of the forefoot part (12, 12') in relation to the base foot part (1, 1').
