Computer-aided socket design for trans-femoral amputees.
Computer-aided socket design (CASD) is a technique for the design of prosthetic sockets using the advantageous features of computer graphics and calculation. This paper describes a computer-aided technique used to design sockets for patients with trans-tibial lower limb amputations.
متن کاملStump-socket interface pressure as an aid to socket design in prostheses for trans-femoral amputees--a preliminary study.
A system for measuring the stump-socket interface pressure was designed and built using a strain gauged type load cell. The system was utilized to study the pressure distribution in the quadrilateral and ischial containment type sockets. Two volunteer trans-femoral amputees fitted with both types of socket participated in the experiments. Pressures were measured while the subjects were standing...
متن کاملA computer-aided socket design procedure for above-knee prostheses.
A computer-aided socket design procedure (CASD) has been developed whereby an above-knee socket shape can be created based on anthropometric measurements taken from an amputee. The anthroometric measurements are used to select a subset of three reference shapes from a Reference Shape Library stored in the computer in the form of three-dimensional numerical data. Transformation procedures then s...
متن کاملShape sensing for computer aided below-knee prosthetic socket design.
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.
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.
