CA 2291629

A device in a leg prosthesis provided with a shock- and torque absorber intended to absorb shocks as well as rotational movements which occur when the foot hits the ground during walking, running, jumping etc. and comprising two parts (10, 11) which are telescopically displaceable and rotatable with respect to each other. The device further comprises a first resilient member (12) arranged between the two telescopic parts (10, 11) and said resilient member is arranged to be compressed at a telescopic movement of said parts in a retracting direction, that a second resilient member (19) is attached to the outer telescopic part (10) and limitedly displaceable in the inner telescopic part (11) limiting the telescopic movement as well as the rotational movement thereof in the outer telescopic part (10).

L'invention concerne un dispositif d'une prothèse de jambe, doté d'un amortisseur de chocs et de rotation destiné à amortir les chocs et les mouvements de rotation qui apparaissent lorsque le pied heurte le sol lors de la marche, de la course, du saut etc. Ce dispositif comprend deux parties (10, 11) qui sont mobiles de façon télescopique et rotatives l'une par rapport à l'autre. Le dispositif comprend également un premier élément élastique (12) intercalé entre les deux parties télescopiques (10, 11). Ce premier élément élastique est conçu pour être comprimé lors du mouvement télescopique des deux parties qui se déplacent alors dans le sens d'une rétraction. Le dispositif comprend enfin un deuxième élément élastique (19) fixé à la partie télescopique extérieure (10) et mobile dans les limites d'une certaine amplitude à l'intérieur de la partie télescopique intérieure (11), limitant ainsi le mouvement télescopique et rotatif de cette dernière dans la partie télescopique extérieure (10).
