A jointless prosthetic foot having a leaf spring which has a distal footfall section, a connecting section and a proximal attachment section which extends in an anterior-posterior direction and to which an attachment adapter can be fixed. The attachment adapter is mounted such as to be movable along a convexly curved path in the anterior-posterior direction.

Jointless prosthetic foot

An orthopedic device includes two components that are configured to be movable relative to on another (e.g., longitudinally translatable, pivotable, etc.). The relative movement of the two components is transmitted as unidirectional mechanical energy by means of a transmitting mechanism which includes an energy accumulator connected to a generator. The mechanical energy is thereby converted to electric power.
