CA 2276369

A prosthetic insert unit for cushioning shocks in prosthetics is provided. The unit includes attachment member (150 etc.), a lower sleeve (124' etc.), a slide bearing (152' etc.) to allow free reciprocal motion therebetween, an elastomeric energy storage member (124' etc.) received in the interior of the sleeve (124' etc.), a piston (134' etc.) cooperative with said elastomer member to compress same, and an anti-rotation mechanism. Preferably, the anti- rotation mechanism is integral with the slide bearing (152' etc.). The elastomer member provides controlled deflection as well as damping for the insert. Preferably, an anti-click element (269 etc.) is provided to minimize rebound clicking. Acoustical elements (268 etc.) may also be included to minimize noise transmission into other areas of the insert.

La présente invention a trait à une unité d'insert prothétique destinée à amortir les chocs dans le domaine prothétique. Cette unité comprend d'abord un élément de fixation (150 notamment), un manchon inférieur (124' notamment), un support coulissant (152' notamment) pour permettre un libre mouvement réciproque entre ces composants, ensuite un élément élastomère de stockage d'énergie (124' notamment) placé à l'intérieur du manchon (124'), puis un piston (134' notamment) coopérant avec ledit élément élastomère afin de comprimer ce dernier, et enfin, un mécanisme antirotation. De préférence, ledit mécanisme est solidaire du support coulissant (152' notamment). L'élément élastomère permet à l'insert d'effectuer une flexion limitée et un mouvement d'amortissement. De préférence, on fournit un élément anti-encliquetage (269 notamment) afin de réduire au minimum l'encliquetage par contrecoup. On peut également inclure des éléments acoustiques (268 notamment) qui réduiront la transmission du bruit vers d'autres surfaces de l'insert.
