ABSTRACT:
A prosthetic foot is provided having at least two support members operatively secured to an upper attachment member and extending relatively downward and forward therefrom. Each of the support members has an unsecured end, wherein an unsecured end of one of the support members flexibly bends and moves relative to the unsecured end of the other support member. A compressible member, such as a resilient foam member or inflatable bladder, is disposed between the unsecured ends of the support members to determine the prosthetic foot's energy storage and release characteristics.
