Method for manufacturing a sitting orthosis from a representation of the contact surface of the sitting orthosis, and a sitting orthosis manufactured in such a manner

摘要

The invention relates to a method for manufacturing a sitting orthosis, which is provided with a contact surface where the user of the sitting orthosis makes contact with the sitting orthosis, from a representation of the contact surface of the sitting orthosis. The method comprises of manufacturing a shell part on the basis of the representation of the contact surface by machining processable material under the control of the representation of the contact surface of the sitting orthosis; and arranging a covering layer on the thus obtained shell part. The invention also relates to a sitting orthosis. The sitting orthosis comprises a contact surface where the user of the sitting orthosis makes contact with the sitting orthosis, wherein the sitting orthosis is assembled from a shell part of a material processable by machining and wherein at least the contact surface is provided with a covering layer.

1. A method for manufacturing a sitting orthosis, which is provided with a contact surface where the user of the sitting orthosis makes contact with the sitting orthosis, from a representation of the contact surface, comprising the steps of:
providing a digital file, wherein the contact surface of the sitting orthosis is represented by the digital file; extending, in the digital file, surfaces adjacent to the contact surface and providing indicators for inserts to create a modified file; modifying representation, in the modified file, of at least the contact surface for a thickness of a layer of stiff material; after modifying for the thickness of the layer of stiff material, manufacturing a shell part on the basis of the representation of the contact surface by machining processable material under the control of the representation of the contact surface of the sitting orthosis using the digital file and the modified file; recessing spaces for the inserts during manufacture of the shell part; mounting inserts on the shell part before the layer of stiff material is arranged; covering the shell part with the layer of stiff material after the machining process; and arranging a covering layer on the thus obtained shell part; wherein the digital file is used to control the machining process.
