A multi-axis prosthetic ankle for connection of a prosthetic lower leg to
a prosthetic foot. A substantially hollow prosthetic foot connection
component includes a receiving cavity for receiving a portion of a lower
leg connection component. A retainer or retainer assembly is preferably
installed into the receiving cavity to help retain the lower leg
connection component therein. Once the necessary components are in place,
the remainder of the receiving cavity is substantially filled with an
elastomeric material. An external bearing may reside atop the elastomeric
material and act in conjunction with the elastomeric material to control
ankle flexion.
