Abstract:
1. A method for making an artificial limb for attachment to a residual limb of an amputee from an elongated shaft member having a proximal end and a distal end along a longitudinal axis, comprising the steps of: dividing an anterior side of said distal end of said shaft member from a posterior side of said distal end of said shaft member to form an anterior prong extending in an anterior direction from said longitudinal axis and to form a posterior prong extending in a posterior direction from said longitudinal axis; shaping said anterior prong to a length and curvature based on the size and features of said amputee; and shaping said posterior prong to a length and curvature based on the size and features of said amputee.
