ABSTRACT:
A prosthetic foot is characterized by a low-profile, elongated forefoot portion incorporating an attachment section, an arch section and a toe section, said forefoot portion being configured so that the foot may be worn by Symes-type amputees. The foot further preferably includes a heel portion secured to the forefoot portion. A preferably demountable connection of the heel portion to the forefoot portion permits interchangeability of those components to match the weight, stride and activity schedule of the wearer utilizing the prosthetic foot. Adjustment means is provided to permit adjustment and alignment of the foot with respect to the wearer's stump.
