Method and System for Choosing Prosthetics Through Cross-Reference of Databases

Abstract

A system of choosing a prosthetic liner using cross-references databases which informs a user using a specified interface. The method comprises a user accessing a graphical interface wherein amputee attributes are entered in order of (1) level of amputation, (2) residual limb length, (3) activity level, (4) residual limb shape/volume, and (5) clinical conditions with corresponding attribute options. Alternatively, the chosen attributes are (1) class of amputation, (2) residual limb length, (3) body weight, (4) use of the prosthesis, (5) activity level, and (6) uneven paths for knee joints with corresponding attribute options. Alternatively, the chosen attributes are (1) level of amputation, (2) residual limb length, (3) body weight, (4) use of the prosthesis, (5) activity level, and (6) uneven paths for foot joints with corresponding attribute options. These amputee attributes are cross-referenced against one another and compared to a second database containing liners that correspond to the amputee attributes.
