Small-size Multi-axis Ankle Prosthesis
A small-size multi-axis ankle joint prosthesis is provided. Two ends of each of four springs are fixedly connected with two spring seats at an upper part and at the lower part respectively. The joint axes are positioned in a space surrounded by the lower part, the four springs and the upper part. Front and rear perforated blocks in the joint axes are respectively in bolted connection with a fifth arc hole pair g and a sixth arc hole pair h of a second arc plate in the upper part. Left and right perforated blocks in the joint axes are respectively in bolted connection with a second arc hole pair e and a third arc hole pair f of the first arc plate in the lower part.
PROSTHETIC FOOT ASSEMBLY
The invention relates to prosthetic foot assembly comprising a prosthetic foot and a series elastic pneumatic actuator connected to the prosthetic foot, the series elastic pneumatic actuator being configurable between a first configuration in which the prosthetic foot is displaced to a first, rest position and a second configuration in which the prosthetic foot is displaced to a second position.

Prosthetic limb kit and method of manufacture
A prosthetic limb is made from a portable kit that is of relatively low cost and easy to assemble and custom fit to a person in need so that the person can wear the prosthetic immediately, without having to wait for the prosthetic to be manufactured off-site. The embodiments include a below the knee device and an above the knee device that includes an artificial knee. The improved prosthetic is suited for replacing a missing leg but can also be adapted to replace another body part such as an arm, hand or foot.

Prosthesis
A joint for a prosthesis comprises a prosthesis part and a body part. The two parts are connected by a connection part. A first pair of engaging sets of abutments is provided on the connection part and the prosthesis part and a second pair of engaging sets of abutments is provided on the connection art and the body part. By adjusting position of the connection part, the first pair of sets are disengageable and by further adjusting the position, the second pair of sets are also disengageable. This allows for adjustment of the joint at two levels. A prosthesis includes two stripes of resilient material of which at least one has a curved part and a straight part. The joint is provided at a distal end, at the concave part of the strips. At straight parts, the strips cross and one strip extends beyond the other.

Prosthetic attachment system
A prosthetic attachment system includes an insert arranged for connection to a prosthetic liner, and an attachment unit arranged for connection to a distal end of a prosthetic socket. The attachment unit comprises a body defining an axis and a central opening for selectively receiving the insert. The body carries a plurality of locking elements that are distributed circumferentially about the axis and radially repositionable relative to the axis. A release mechanism is slidably positioned on an outer surface of the body to move the prosthetic attachment system between a locked configuration in which the locking elements are radially repositioned to lock the insert in the central opening of the body and an unlocked configuration in which the insert is released from the central opening.
