Method, apparatus, and program for analyzing a prosthetic device

A method for analyzing a prosthetic device, the method comprising the steps of:

• displaying a graphical user interface on a first computer;
• displaying a list of prosthetic components via the graphical user interface;
• determining a user selected prosthetic component from the list;
• the prosthetic device comprising the user selected prosthetic component;
• displaying an image of the prosthetic device via the graphical user interface;
• determining a user selected orientation for the prosthetic device via the graphical user interface;
• calculating a data set indicative of a first range of motion for the prosthetic device, the calculation based upon the user selected orientation for the prosthetic device, the calculation performed by a second computer;
• and
• displaying a graphical representation of the data set via the graphical user interface.

An apparatus for analyzing a prosthetic device, the apparatus comprising:

• a display monitor;
• a processing unit electrically coupled to the display monitor;
• a memory electrically coupled to the processing unit, the memory having stored therein a plurality of instructions which, when executed by the processing unit, causes the processing unit to:
• display a graphical user interface on the display monitor;
• display a first list of prosthetic components on the display monitor;
• determine a first user selected prosthetic component from the first list, the prosthetic device comprising the first user selected prosthetic component;
• display an image of the prosthetic device via the graphical user interface;
• determine a first user selected orientation for the prosthetic device via the graphical user interface;
• calculate a first data set indicative of a first range of motion for the prosthetic device orientated in the first user selected orientation;
• and
• display a graphical representation of the first data set via the graphical user interface.

An article comprising:

• a computer-readable data storage medium, the medium having recorded thereon a plurality of instructions which, when executed by a processing unit, causes the processing unit to:
• generate a graphical user interface for display on a display monitor;
• generate a first list of prosthetic components of a prosthetic device for display on the display monitor;
• determine a first user selected prosthetic component from the first list, the prosthetic device comprising the first user selected prosthetic component;
• generate an image of the prosthetic device for display on the display monitor via the graphical user interface;
• determine a first user selected orientation for the prosthetic device via the graphical user interface;
• calculate a first data set indicative of a first range of motion for the prosthetic device orientated in the first user selected orientation;
• and
• generate a graphical representation of the first data set for display on the display monitor via the graphical user interface.
