FITTING SYSTEM FOR A PROSTHESIS

摘要

A fitting system for electronically representing both the static fitting and the dynamic movement of artificial prostheses is provided. The fitting system embodies a method of disposing a plurality of force sensing resistors along a prosthetic interface, wherein each force sensing resistor has an output element; noting a spatial relationship and a sequential relationship between each of the plurality of force sensing resistors; and providing a micro controller electrically interconnected between each output element and a display device, wherein the micro controller is configured to electrically represent a force output of each output element on the display device so that each force output is identified with the associated spatial relationship and the associated sequential relationship relative to the plurality of force sensing resistors.
