Abstract
A method for manufacturing an orthopedic product for a body part of a patient is disclosed, the method comprising the following steps: a) providing body-part data containing information about an internal structure of the body part, b) detecting a current line of vision from which a user of the method sees the body part, c) displaying the body part data from the current line of vision by means of the display device so that the user sees the body part and the body part data superimposed, d) generating production data for the orthopedic device on the basis of the displayed data and e) providing an orthopedic product manufactured on the basis of the production data.
Claims18
A method for producing an orthopedic product for a body part of a patient, the method comprising the following steps:
- a) providing body part data that contains information about an inner structure of the body part,
- b) detecting a current direction of view from which a user of the method sees the body part,
- c) presenting the body part data from the current direction of view by means of a display device, so that the user sees the body part and the body part data superimposed,
- d) generating production data for the orthopedic product on the basis of the data displayed, and
- e) providing an orthopedic product produced on the basis of the production data, wherein prior to generating the production data, the body part is preferably deformed and/or molded and an electronic data processing device uses a model to calculate the effects of the deformation and/or molding of the body part on the inner structure of the body part and modifies the body part data accordingly, wherein the modified body part data is then displayed.
A method for producing an orthopedic product for a body part of a patient, the method comprising the steps of:
- providing three-dimensional body part data that contains information about an inner structure of the body part;
- detecting a current direction of view from which a user of the method sees the body part;
- presenting the body part data from the current direction of view by means of a display device, so that the user sees the body part and the body part data superimposed, wherein the display device is partially transparent;
- generating production data for the orthopedic product from the data displayed;
- and providing an orthopedic product produced from the production data, wherein prior to generating the production data, the body part is preferably deformed and/or molded and an electronic data processing device uses a model to calculate the effects of the deformation and/or molding of the body part on the inner structure of the body part and modifies the body part data accordingly, wherein the modified body part data is then displayed.
