ABSTRACT:
A unitary foot and shin component for a lower limb prosthesis has a one piece thermoplastic endoskeletal foot keel and shin member and a continuous flexible cosmesis. The cosmesis includes a resilient foot body which is molded directly onto the keel so as to embed the keel, and an integral flexible and hollow shell which surrounds the shin member but is spaced from it. By forming the foot body and the hollow shell as a single polyurethane molding, the foot and shin can be supplied as a single component, ready for connection to a stump socket and alignment coupling.
