Abstract:
A prosthetic component is described for use in a human lower limb prosthesis. The component can consist of an integrated pylon-keel or foot component. The preferred methods of manufacture are thermoforming or injection molding. The use of a single piece of plastic allows for improved energy storing and release characteristics while heightening the wearer's sense of weight reduction.
