A limb prosthesis which via coupling means is adapted to be connected to
an implant in the form of an osseointegrated shaft projecting from an
amputated stump. The coupling means comprises a flexible joint and the
prosthesis further comprises at least one force transmitting device
secured to and extending from a prosthetic member connected to the
coupling means up to a position on the amputated stump or body portion to
which the stump connects. The force transmitting device is adapted to be
secured to the stump or other body portion in such a way that it relieves
the implant from at least part of the bending and/or rotational forces
exerted to the prosthetic member.
