Claim 11:
12. An adapter for adjusting a prosthetic device between a walking mode and a running mode, the adapter comprising:
a first member;
a second member; and
a third member interposed between the first member and the second member, the third member having a bottom surface adjacent the first member and a top surface adjacent the second member, the bottom and top surfaces being angled relative to each other;
wherein the third member is configured to:
rotate relative to the first member about a first center axis and relative to the second member about a second center axis, the first center axis having an angular offset relative to the second center axis;
rotate relative to both the first member and the second member into a first position, thereby placing the prosthetic device in the walking mode; and
rotate relative to both the first member and the second member into a second position, thereby placing the prosthetic device in the running mode;
an angle of the first member relative to the second member changing between the walking mode and the running mode such that a toe side is angled more downwardly relative to a heel side in the running mode than in the walking mode.
