ABSTRACT:
An artificial leg is assembled from a thigh member and a selected one of a plurality of preformed modular endoskeletal shin members each having an identical knee support member and ankle attachment member but differing in length of shin tube. A cellular plastics cosmesis is moulded onto the shin member. A foot may be attached to the shin member with an intermediate disc bearing differentially spaced circumferential teeth on its upper and lower faces which locate in sockets in the ankle attachment member and in the foot to permit fine adjustment of the position of the foot relative to the shin member.
