ABSTRACT:
A prosthetic foot is characterized by a forefoot portion incorporating an attachment section, a curvilinear ankle section, an arch section and a toe section, said ankle section being configured so that the foot may be worn by persons whose legs have been amputated at or near the wearer's ankle region. The foot further includes a heel portion secured to the forefoot portion. The foot is fabricated from polymer impregnated and encapsulated laminates, including such laminates as carbon fibers and/or fiberglass or synthetic fibers such as Kevlar. 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.
