    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an orthotic (or brace) and/or prosthetic ankle joint and associated methods adapted to enable adjustment of a talus section or ankle portion or brace with respect to a tibial section of the orthotic (or brace) and/or prosthetic ankle joint. The talus section or ankle portion of the orthotic (or brace) and/or prosthetic ankle joint is movably coupled to the tibial section with the alignment between the talus section and tibial section being adjustable between various positions by disengagement or engagement of a lock of an adjustment mechanism. As the lock is disengaged, the talus section is enabled to pivot with respect to the tibial section in at least one direction as the user moves along a slope.
