Advanced Fitment of Prosthetic Devices

A method for new fitting procedures for prosthetic devices comprising:

• a. scanning of the prosthetic limb to obtain a point cloud representation of the prosthetic limb;
• b. creating a data file that defines a three-dimensional shape of the prosthetic limb;
• said data file further defining the boundaries of thin cross sectional regions of the prosthetic limb;
• c. providing the data file to an additive layer-wise manufacturing machine;
• d. producing a test socket of the prosthetic limb on the additive layer-wise manufacturing machine;
• e. obtaining biometric correlation using an electronics embedded garment applied to the prosthetic limb to capture data correlated to the geometry of the prosthetic limb;
• f. analyzing the captured correlated data using three-dimensional reconstruction software to obtain real time pressure and temperature maps of the electronics embedded garment for use in the prosthetic fitting design;
• and
• g. applying the captured biometric data and the real time pressure and temperature maps from the electronics embedded garment to rapidly converge on a final fitment of the prosthetic device.
