A foot prosthesis having an upper part and a lower part, which is set on the ground as the user walks, one part being arranged on top of the other a certain distance away. The two parts are connected to each other at the tip of the foot. The upper part and the lower part are formed by a one-piece component. In the area near the heel, an elastic damping element is arranged between the upper part and the lower part and is connected to the upper part and/or to the lower part. A compressible but longitudinally strong connecting element, which connects the upper part to the lower part, and which is guided through a recess in the damping element, is provided.

Foot prosthesis

Foot prosthesis, comprising an upper part, and a lower part that is placed on the ground when walking, which parts extend one above the other and at a distance from each other, are connected to each other at the forefoot and the heel and, forming a spring, move relative to each other during walking, wherein the upper part () and the lower part () are formed by means of a one-piece, closed component () made from a carbon fiber composite.

Foot prosthesis, comprising an upper part, and a lower part that is placed on the ground when walking, wherein the upper part and the lower part are connected to each other via an elastic damping element arranged in the heel area, and the upper part and the lower part, forming a spring, extend one above the other and spaced apart from each other into the area of the forefoot, wherein at least one filling piece () is inserted between the upper part () and the lower part () in the area between the damping element () and the forefoot (), which filling piece () increases the flexural stiffness of the upper and lower part coupled via the filling piece during walking.
