ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a resilient insert for a jointless artificial foot having a base-spring connected to a C-shaped spring. An articulated link between the opening of the C-shaped spring and the base-spring transfers bending moment forces acting on the C-shaped spring as a result of forefoot loading to the base-spring.
