Abstract:
A prosthetic coupling providing height and rotation adjustability. Exemplary embodiments include a Double Ended Pyramid Adapter (DEPR) allowing a prosthesis to be height adjusted and rotated using a single adapter. An exemplary DEPR also has an anti-rotation locking feature that selectively inhibits rotation of the components with respect to one another, and can selectively be unlocked to allow rotation when desired. An exemplary DEPR adapter allows for height and rotation adjustment, and may be utilized with transfemoral patients for height adjustments between the distal end of the socket and the prosthetic knee.
