Reflections on CAD/CAM in Prosthetics and Orthotics
|
John W. Michael, M.Ed., C.P.O.
|
| |
The computerization of manufacturing has been termed the "Third Industrial Revolution." The author discusses how this might affect the design, fitting, and manufacturing of
orthoses and prostheses.

Computer Designed Prosthetic Socket from Analysis of Computed
Tomography Data
|
Virgil W. Faulkner, C.P.O.
Nicolas E. Walsh, M.D.
|
| |
With the computer aided ability to reconstruct three-dimensional images of a residual limb, the authors describe how the shape
can be altered to make it biomechanically correct for prosthetic socket manufacture. The image data is then interfaced ...

With the aid of CAD/CAM, the authors present a prosthesis which can be fabricated at a central site and then shipped to remote
sites in underdeveloped countries. The socket is designed so that it can be fitted and modified by local technicians.
