The foot is made by Otto Bock. It is called the Axtion. It is what is called a dynamic foot. It is a dynamic foot because it is strong and allows for high level activity. It is chiefly made of to carbon fiber pads with a heel piece. I attached a description here.

1E56 Axtion
At a Glance
- Ideal for sports and leisure activities such as basketball and tennis
- Heel impact is softened
- High energy return
- Lightweight
- Natural gait pattern
- Suitable for long residual limbs
- Recommended for mobility levels 3 and 4
You are active, dynamic, and always on the go. You enjoy playing basketball and taking on physical challenges. In that case, the 1E56 Axtion® foot may be the ideal complement to your prosthesis system. We developed the Axtion® especially for active persons with a body weight of up to 125 kilograms. It is also ideally suited for people with a long residual limb.
High-Quality Materials Increase the Level of Wearer Comfort
Due to its innovative construction and high-quality, carbon fiber construction, the Axtion® offers many advantages for daily use. The heel impact is cushioned to create a soft rollover. Therefore you move more easily and securely, and do not tire as quickly. In addition, the stump is relieved.
When you start the next step, the Axtion® actively supports you. It provides excellent energy return in the forefoot for a more even, natural and dynamic gait pattern. Therefore sporting activities such as tennis, which subject you to greater impact stress, are possible. With the Axtion®, you are also more mobile, walk more comfortably, and expend less energy during daily challenges at work and at home.
Due to its low structural height, the Axtion® is ideal for combination with components such as the C-Leg® or Harmony® system. The foot is also light, which increases the level of wearer comfort. The Axtion® was recognized internationally by receiving the reddot design award in 2005, the largest design competition in the world.

adj 1: Having rejected tradition 2: unconventionalThe Renegade, the industries most innovative shock absorbing prosthetic foot provides unparalleled performance in a lightweight design which is comfortable for everyday use.
 RunwayThe Runway is the only user adjustable heel height foot designed for active K3 amputees.
Based on the remarkable design features of the Freedom Series, the Runway provides comfort and performance while the patent-pending ankle design enables the amputee to change from barefoot to two-inch heels within seconds.
The Runway is available in sizes 22-27 and customized to the weight of the amputee.
 Renegade LPDesigned to accommodate clearances under 5 inches -- ranging from 4.4 to 5.2 inches -- the Renegade LP provides a complete shock system, which is ideal for active amputees with longer residual limbs
 SilhouetteThe Silhouette prosthetic foot is Freedom Innovation's latest offering of high performance, lightweight componentry, with the added benefits of multi-axial rotation and a slim profile facilitating ease of refined cosmetic finishing. The component is highly responsive, manufactured using specially engineered carbon graphite lay-ups that provide a dynamic posterior attached heel and compliant toe, enabling smooth roll-over and natural gait. Tri-durometer urethane strips allow the wearer to maneuver uneven terrain smoothly with confidence and security. Appropriate for low to moderate impact K3/K4 amputees, the mass of the component is proximal rather than distal, dramatically decreasing the perceived weight of the foot and energy expenditure of the amputee. A 34mm tube clamp adapter ensures an easy and secure socket attachment. Nine stiffness categories are tailored to individual patient weight and activity level. The component is rated up to 365 pounds and available in sizes 22-30 cm, with a 60 No Risk Trial Period and 36 month warranty. The Silhouette foot is your best choice for an easy to finish and elegantly proportioned component that effectively combines the best of art and science.

I woke up yesterday with a golfball size knot on my chest. This muscle pull or injury or whatever was impinging right shoulder movement and causing me pain. It does respond to heat treatment however. So I am using anti-inflamatory medicine and heat to treat it. My father in law had pains in his shoulder and was rushed to the emergency room. He is eighty and just recently had a sextuple bypass. The doctors were afraid it was some sort of inflammation due to the operation but now believe it is probably a rotator cuff injury. They said he was eighty going on sixty five when he had the operation and he looks like he is in incredible shape.

I was supposed to get my new leg last week and the lock mechanism on the leg malfunctioned. It took a half hour to get it off after they put it on. It had to go back to the shop for a new lock. My chest is just now getting back to normal. The swelling is down, but my shoulder is still painful and my neck is sore. I supposedly get my new leg tomorrow. This is the third time so it should be a charm!

Yesterday I walked 40 minutes on my old leg (Peggy Sue). I set a cake timer and walked until it went off. Today I got my new girl. Her name is Maggie May. She feels great. I have to get used to walking without a lot of padding. I'll be setting the cake timer again soon.
