Abstract
A multi-axis prosthetic ankle joint comprising a housing having a bottom portion and a top portion having a front bumper and rear bumper positioned within the housing between the bottom portion and the top portion. The front and rear bumpers and the top and bottom portions of the housing each contain at least one flange which are overlapping and include an axially aligned hole for receipt of a pin. The holes in the upper housing flanges are elongated to provide multiple axes of motion for the ankle joint. The ankle joint is adapted to be rigidly connected between a lower leg component and a foot component.
