The present foot prosthesis includes various structural features that
provide the foot with advantageous rollover properties. In certain
embodiments, the foot guides rollover toward the medial side. For
example, an asymmetrical upper element and a correspondingly shaped
resilient ankle member support more of the wearer's weight on the lateral
side as the foot rolls over. In another embodiment, stiffeners added to
the resilient ankle member increase the stiffness on the lateral side
relative to the medial side. In certain other embodiments, the foot
provides progressively increasing support from mid stance through toe
off. For example, a gap between the resilient ankle member and the lower
element closes during the later portion of the wearer's gait. The closing
gap increases a contact area between the resilient ankle member and the
lower element, providing progressively increasing support.
