Patent ID: 11857394

Abstract:
A thigh prosthetic component for connecting to a thigh shaft. The component includes a pivotable knee joint and an upper part and a lower part connected by ventral and dorsal arms. The ventral arm is articulated to the upper part and to the lower part via distinct axes. The dorsal arm is articulated to the upper part and to the lower part via distinct axes. The component further includes an ankle pivotably connecting a foot part to a lower leg unit connected to the knee joint. The lower leg unit has ventral and dorsal connecting elements transmitting thrust and traction. The ventral connecting element is pivoted to the foot part and to the lower part. The dorsal connecting element is articulated to the foot part and to the upper part and the dorsal articulated arm such that an adjustment of the knee joint from stance to swing positions causes a dorsal extension of the foot part.
