ABSTRACT:
An adjustment head is provided to attach an elongated member of an artificial leg to a prosthetic leg. The adjustment head includes an upper portion and a lower portion. The upper portion provides adjustment of the elongated member in a translatory direction. The lower portion, in combination with the upper portion, provides adjustment of the elongated member in an angular direction. In making the translatory adjustment, the screw provided for this purpose will not be subject to direct breaking forces by being angled due to any angular adjustment of the elongated member, such screw always being maintained in a fixed vertical alignment.
