A method and arrangement for shaping a skin contact orthesis, such as facial orthesis

摘要

A method for shaping a skin contact orthosis, such as a facial orthosis. The orthosis has a contact surface which can be positioned against the skin of at least a part of the body of an individual having an anatomical deformation in that part of the body. Shape data is inputted to a data processing unit. The shape data represents a current shape of at least that part of the body of said individual. Also, data representing parameter values related to a desired shape of at least that part of the body of the individual is inputted to the data processing unit. The data processing unit determines from the shape data and the input data, a surface shape of said contact surface. The contact surface of the skin contact orthosis is formed by an orthosis forming unit to the surface shape under control of the data processing unit.
