Shape sensing for computer aided below-knee prosthetic socket design.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Shape sensing is useful in the computer aided prosthetic fitting process for two purposes. 1. To input characteristic prosthetic shapes that have been developed over the years through the experience of prosthetists. 2. To provide an accurate and rapid measurement of the anatomical shape of the stump. This paper describes two instruments which have been built to meet these objectives.

Computer-aided design of a prosthetic socket for an above-knee amputee.
A computer-aided design process for fabricating the rectified cast for an above-knee prosthetic socket is described. The methodology for collecting the parameters required for the computer analysis is discussed. The input variables include the unloaded shape of the residual limb, the mechanical properties of the soft tissues that comprise the limb, and the surface loading that deforms the tissu...
متن کاملComputer aided design of prosthetic sockets for below-knee amputees.
A computer-aided sculpting system for use in prosthetics is described. The prosthetist's sculpting tools now consist of a computer, a graphics terminal, a mouse and an on-screen moveable cursor. Accompanied by the system software, these tools allow systematic modification of a primitive socket using techniques analogous to those used by a prosthetist working with rasps and plaster.
متن کاملAn evaluation of computer aided design of below-knee prosthetic sockets.
Forty-eight below-knee amputees compared sockets designed using CANFIT computer aided design (CAD) software with sockets designed using conventional methods. Each subject was fitted by one prosthetist who used conventional techniques and one who used the CANFIT system to design the socket. Prosthetists alternated design methods for each new subject. The prosthetist using the conventional techni...
متن کاملAdvanced prosthetic techniques for below knee amputations.
Recent advances in the evaluation of the amputation stump, the materials that are available for prosthetic application, techniques of improving socket fit, and prosthetic finishings promise to dramatically improve amputee function. Precision casting techniques for providing optimal fit of the amputation stump using materials such as alginate are described. The advantages of transparent check so...
متن کاملA CAD CAM method for custom below-knee sockets.
The purpose of this investigation was to develop a numerical method for fabricating prosthetic sockets for below-knee amputees. An optical/laser digitiser scans an amputee's stump and collects three dimensional numerical data describing the surface of the limb and describing specific modification site locations. The numerical data from the laser camera representing the stump and modification si...
