摘要： A data processing method performed by a computer for judging implant orientation data representing an orientation of a first implant part relative to a first bone, the first implant part being part of an implant pair which further comprises a second implant part for a second bone, the implant pair being envisaged to be implanted in a patient, comprising the steps of: —acquiring the implant orientation data, -acquiring second implant orientation data representing the orientation of the second implant part relative to the second bone, -acquiring implant shape data representing the shapes of the first and second implant parts, —acquiring activity data representing at least one desired activity of the patient to be possible after implanting the implant, wherein each desired activity has an associated range of motion between the first bone and the second bone, —calculating a range of motion volume, which represents possible orientations between the first bone and the second bone over three rotational axes, from the implant orientation data, the second implant orientation data and the implant shape data, and —judging the implant orientation data to be feasible if the ranges of motion of all desired activities lie within the range of motion volume.

摘要： The ankle foot orthosis solves a problem of a poor adaptation to a user's foot (3) and the related discomfort. It provides for simultaneous correction of several symptoms in the foot and ankle areas. It is completely produced from a uniform material, the thickness and shape of which change depending on user's specific needs. It is designed in such a way that it does not intervene with other functions of a user's foot. It is manufactured by preparing a 3D model of a user's foot when placed in a physiologically correct static position, by modelling the ankle foot orthosis directly to a 3D model of the foot (3), by 3D printing from preferably a photopolymer, and by adequate post-processing. Due to its minimalistic design, the user can wear the orthosis in a shoe of his appropriate foot size.

摘要： A range of motion is determined. Tracking information including a plurality of skeletal positions is received from an optical system. A plurality of vectors between selected ones of the skeletal positions where the plurality of vectors has an angular relationship is determined. It is determined whether the angular relationship meets a criteria. In the event the angular relationship does not meet the criteria, the angular relationship is rejected.

摘要： An orthotic frame has proximal and distal frame members joined by a knee joint, and a foot support joined by an ankle joint to a distal end of the distal frame. A knee actuator connected between the proximal and distal frame members has a selective stiffness allowing selection of a relatively rigid stiffness during stance and a relatively flexible stiffness during swing. The stiffness of the knee actuator is selected according to the gait cycle, either mechanically according to dorsal flexion of the ankle joint or electronically according to gait cycle phases recognized based on read sensor data. An ambulatory unit gathers data from sensors located on the orthotic frame. Sensor data may be provided to a base unit for diagnostic and biomechanical evaluation, or evaluated by the ambulatory unit to control active components of the orthotic frame according to the recognized gait cycle phases for functional compensation.
