A prosthetic system includes a prosthetic foot with a foot member defining a first end portion, a second end portion, and an intermediate portion defining a curvature and extending between the first and second end portions. A pump mechanism is coupled to the foot member. The pump mechanism includes a housing defining a cavity, and a membrane situated in the cavity. The pump mechanism is movable between an original configuration and an expanded configuration. A movable member includes a first portion coupled to the membrane and a second portion arranged to slidably engage the foot member. Relative movement between the first and second end portions moves the first portion of the movable member relative to the housing and slides the second portion along a length of the foot member to shift the pump mechanism between the original and expanded configurations.

1. A prosthetic system comprising: a prosthetic foot including a foot member having a flexible configuration and defining a first end portion, a second end portion, and an intermediate portion defining a curvature and extending between the first and second end portions, and an adaptor attached to the first end portion of the foot member; anda pump mechanism positioned between the first and second end portions of the foot member, the pump mechanism including a housing secured to the adaptor and defining a cavity, and a membrane situated in the cavity, the pump mechanism movable between an original configuration in which the volume of a fluid chamber defined between the membrane and a bottom of the cavity is zero or near-zero, and an expanded configuration in which the volume of the fluid chamber is increased; anda movable member including a first portion coupled to the membrane and a second portion engaging the adaptor or a dorsal aspect of the foot member, wherein relative movement between the first and second end portions of the foot member moves the first portion of the movable member relative to the housing to shift the pump mechanism between the original configuration and the expanded configuration. 2. The prosthetic system of claim 1, wherein the movable member comprises a plate and the first portion comprises a posterior end portion and the second portion comprises an anterior end portion. 3. The prosthetic system of claim 1, wherein the movable member includes a clip mechanism arranged to selectively clip the movable member to the housing. 4. The prosthetic system of claim 3, wherein the housing defines a seat having a recessed configuration and arranged to accommodate a posterior end section of the clip mechanism. 5. The prosthetic system of claim 1, wherein the movable member biases the pump mechanism toward the original configuration. 6. The prosthetic system of claim 1, wherein the housing is removably attached to the adaptor. 7. The prosthetic system of claim 1, wherein the first portion of the movable member pivots relative to the housing to move the pump mechanism between the original configuration and the expanded configuration. 8. The prosthetic system of claim 7, wherein the first portion of the movable member is arranged to pivot around an anterior edge of the housing. 9. The prosthetic system of claim 1, wherein movement of the first and second end portions toward one another from a resting position moves the first portion of the movable member away from the housing and shifts the pump mechanism toward the expanded configuration. 10. The prosthetic system of claim 9, wherein movement of the first and second end portions of the foot member toward the resting position shifts the pump mechanism toward the original configuration. 11. The prosthetic system of claim 1, wherein the movable member comprises a plate and a terminal edge of the first portion defines a slot arranged to receive a connector coupling the movable member to the membrane. 12. The prosthetic system of claim 11, wherein the connector is arranged to slide within the slot as the first portion of the movable member moves relative to the housing. 13. The prosthetic system of claim 1, wherein the first portion of the movable member is attached to the membrane via a fastener. 14. The prosthetic system of claim 1, wherein the movable member is attached to the housing. 15. The prosthetic system of claim 1, wherein the movable member comprises a flexible enclosure having an elliptical configuration. 16. The prosthetic system of claim 1, further comprising: a prosthetic socket in fluid communication with the pump mechanism and connected to the prosthetic foot. 17. The prosthetic system of claim 16, further comprising a tube connecting an interior of the prosthetic socket to a one-way valve assembly of the pump mechanism, the pump mechanism arranged to draw air from the interior of the prosthetic socket upon expansion of the pump mechanism. 18. A prosthetic system comprising: a prosthetic foot including a foot member having a flexible configuration and defining a first end portion, a second end portion, and an intermediate portion defining a curvature and extending between the first and second end portions, and an adaptor attached to the first end portion of the foot member; anda pump mechanism coupled to the foot member and positioned between the first and second end portions of the foot member, the pump mechanism including a housing secured to the adaptor and defining a cavity, and a membrane situated in the cavity, the pump mechanism movable between an original configuration in which the volume of a fluid chamber defined between the membrane and a bottom of the cavity is zero or near-zero, and an expanded configuration in which the volume of the fluid chamber is increased; anda movable member including a first portion coupled to the membrane and a second portion engaging the adaptor or a dorsal aspect of the foot member; anda prosthetic socket in fluid communication with the pump mechanism and connected to the prosthetic foot,wherein flexion of the foot member moves the first portion of the movable member to shift the pump mechanism between the original configuration and the expanded configuration and draw fluid out of the prosthetic socket. 19. The prosthetic system of claim 18, wherein the movable member biases the pump mechanism toward the original configuration. 20. The prosthetic system of claim 18, wherein the movable member comprises a plate and the first portion comprises a posterior end portion and the second portion comprises an anterior end portion.
