| 20090138096 | FOOT/ANKLE IMPLANT AND ASSOCIATED METHOD - A foot/ankle implant anatomically-shaped for implantation between two bone portions of the foot or ankle to correct associated deformities. The foot/ankle implant has a peripheral wall surrounding a central bore therethrough and defining an annular cross-section. The wall is constructed from a composite material that includes a ceramic component and a polymer component. The ceramic component is gradually resorbed after implantation, and the polymeric component gradually degrades after implantation. | 05-28-2009 |
| 20110093091 | Tensegrity Joints for Prosthetic, Orthotic, and Robotic Devices - Embodiments of the invention relate to a prosthetic, orthotic, or robotic foot having at least two joints. One joint is located in a position analogous to the human MTP joint, and the other is located in a position analogous to the human subtalar joint. Motions of these two joints are mechanically couples. Furthermore, these joints are created using “tensegrity” design principals, where connections between the compression members are made by a network of tension members. These tension members create axes of motion, and limitations on those axes of motion. Actuators or linear elastic “springs” are use to alter the torque/angular deflection response curve of these joints, so that the rollover profile of the human foot can be duplicated by this invention. | 04-21-2011 |
| 20140156027 | PROSTHETIC FOOT - A prosthetic foot may comprise a resilient member comprising an outer arced surface, a toe piece, a mid-stance support, and a heel support. The toe piece may be coupled to an anterior portion of the outer arced surface of the resilient member. The mid-stance support may be removably coupled to a middle portion of the outer arced surface of the resilient member. The heel support coupled to a posterior portion of the outer arced surface of the resilient member. | 06-05-2014 |
| 20140277587 | ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING PRODUCED PROSTHETIC FOOT - Various systems, apparatuses, and methods for producing a prosthetic foot by an additive manufacturing process are disclosed. | 09-18-2014 |
| 20160067059 | FOOT PROSTHESIS WITH RESILIENT MULTI-AXIAL ANKLE - The present foot prosthesis includes various structural features that provide the foot with advantageous rollover properties. In certain embodiments, the foot guides rollover toward the medial side. For example, an asymmetrical upper element and a correspondingly shaped resilient ankle member support more of the wearer's weight on the lateral side as the foot rolls over. In another embodiment, stiffeners added to the resilient ankle member increase the stiffness on the lateral side relative to the medial side. In certain other embodiments, the foot provides progressively increasing support from mid stance through toe off. For example, a gap between the resilient ankle member and the lower element closes during the later portion of the wearer's gait. The closing gap increases a contact area between the resilient ankle member and the lower element, providing progressively increasing support. In another embodiment, the foot includes a gap between a lower front edge of an attachment adapter and the upper element. The gap may be filled with a resilient material. | 03-10-2016 |
