| abstract |
The invention relates to a foot prosthesis, comprising a lower-leg connection part (12), a foot part (18), a connecting element (14) having a joint function, which connecting element connects the lower-leg connection part (12) to the foot part (18), and a release device (16), by means of which a motion of the foot part (18) in relation to the lower-leg connection part (12) can be inhibited and disinhibited. According to the invention, the release device (16) has a passive inhibiting device (28), which is designed in such a way that a dorsal extension motion of the foot part (18) in relation to the lower-leg connection part (12) in an angular range from a maximal plantar flexion position to a zero position is inhibited less intensely than a dorsal extension motion of the foot part (18) from the zero position. |
