Optimal replacement strategy selecting method for weakened above-knee prosthesis of patient, involves obtaining optimal strategy for each new case of replacement of prosthesis based on values or instances which take criterions for new cases

摘要

The method involves classifying real cases of replacement of above-knee prosthesis observed in different configurations based on previously established classification criterions, where each configuration is defined by a specific set of values or specific instances of the criterions. An optimal replacement strategy from a set of known usable strategies is associated to each configuration by statistical analysis, and the optimal strategy for each new case of replacement of the above-knee prosthesis is obtained based on the values or instances which take the criterions for the new cases. An independent claim is also included for a computer program permitting to select an optimal replacement strategy for above-knee prosthesis from a set of known usable strategies.
