None of ANY Prosthetic Companies, explains how these srews work, nor even what they're meant for. After Months (well, 3 years), by own research, I figured out that one can adjust an artificial joint with these screws. Knee AND Ankle joints to any desired angle. You just explained this in 2 minutes. You are explaining KINGSIZE ! 😃💪🏆 It is very important to share this. Most Companies hide these IMPORTANT informations, to make more money. THANK YOU and by the way: a Peaceful and Healthy 2023 🍀💪🍀🌹🍀🤝
So you tighten the rear grub screw to bring the toes downward and reverse to lift the toes higher and heel downwards??? Also at the same time working the opposite screw in the opposite direction??? Tighten one and loosen the opposite other?? Great video though 👍👍👍
Pretty amazing how much engineering goes into the prosthetic foot, and how much we take for granted our natural body adaptations in being able to use the foot and ankle as we do. I presume in the future, many of the manual adjustments might be replaced with smaller stepper motors and some kind of power source to make adjustments on the fly. Thank you for sharing!

Thank you for your kind comment! Have a great 2023. 😀
Thanks again! Very clear explanation, I like the Quick Change adapter, I'm going to ask my prosthetist to get me one!

There are some prosthetic feet with powered adjustments, the biggest problem with then is weight and durability, but technology is always improving.
