The present invention relates to a prosthesis (20) having a substantially rigid log member (22), wherein most of the bending takes place about a confined ankle region (26) relatively low to the ground, and in a flexible toe (28) and ankle (26) section, wherein the bending of the prosthesis (20) more closely resembles the bending of a normal ankle joint. The confined bending helps to reduce the amount of horizontal deflection caused along the ankle section (26) by the upward deflection of the prosthesis (20). The present invention also comprises a tubular leg member (22) that is detachable from the ankle and foot member (24), and a heel member (40) extending rearwardly from the foot member (24) which is also detachable therefrom.
L'invention concerne une prothèse présentant un élément de jambe relativement rigide (22) dans laquelle la courbure se situe autour d'une zone de cheville confinée relativement basse par rapport au sol, et dans une zone d'orteil flexible (28) et de cheville (26), la courbure de la prothèse ressemblant plus à celle d'une cheville normale. La courbure confinée permet de réduire la déflexion horizontale se produisant le long de la zone de la cheville (26) due à la déflexion de la prothèse. Le dispositif selon l'invention est également doté d'un élément de jambe tubulaire (22) détachable de la cheville et de l'élément pied (24), et d'un élément talon (40) saillant vers l'arrière de l'élément pied dont il est également détachable.
