Patent ID: 8177855

Claim:
A prosthetic foot comprising: a first foam element having a first stiffness and substantially defining an outer periphery of the prosthetic foot; a resilient footplate embedded within the first foam element, and having proximal and distal surfaces, and anterior and posterior portions; a second foam element embedded within the first foam element and bonded to the distal surface of the posterior portion of the footplate, and further defining a recess along a proximal surface thereof, the second foam element having a second stiffness greater than the first stiffness of the first foam element; wherein the recess of the second foam element forms an accommodation space between the proximal surface of the second foam element and the distal surface of the footplate; wherein the bonding of the second foam element to the footplate allows a flush mating between the proximal surface of the second foam element and the distal surface of the footplate; and the first foam element fills in the accommodation space.
