Claim 15:
16. A thigh prosthetic component for connecting to a thigh shaft, having:
a knee joint that can be pivoted between a stance position and a swing position, and has a proximal knee joint upper part and a distal knee joint lower part which are connected by a ventral articulated arm and a dorsal articulated arm, wherein
the ventral articulated arm is articulated to the proximal knee joint upper part via a ventral, upper knee joint axis, and is articulated to the distal knee joint lower part via a ventral lower knee joint axis, and the dorsal articulated arm is articulated to the proximal knee joint upper part via a dorsal, upper knee joint axis, and is articulated to the distal knee joint lower part via a dorsal lower knee joint axis, and
an ankle for the pivotable connection of a foot part to a lower leg unit connected to the knee joint, wherein—the lower leg unit has a ventral connecting element and dorsal connecting element designed to transmit thrust and traction, wherein
the ventral connecting element is pivoted at one end to the foot part by a ventral ankle axis and at the other end to the distal knee joint lower part, and the dorsal connecting element is articulated at one end to the foot part by a dorsal ankle axis and at the other end to the proximal knee joint upper part and the dorsal articulated arm by the dorsal upper knee joint axis such that an adjustment of the knee joint from the stance position into the swing position causes a dorsiflexion of the foot part whereby in the swing position there is a dorsiflexion of the foot part via the connection with the knee, which lifts the foot tip.
