  • Patent number: 11730230
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems and methods for generating orthotic device models using simulated patient anatomy. In one implementation, a method comprises receiving images of a body part of a patient; deriving physical measurements from the images; generating anatomy model data of the body part using the physical measurements; and generating orthotic model data based on the anatomy model data, the orthotic model data being representative of an orthotic device.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 23, 2020
    Date of Patent: August 22, 2023
    Assignee: Aetrex, Inc.

  • Publication number: 20170224050
    Abstract: An insert to be used with footwear is provided. In one implementation, the insert includes a structural member that has a first surface and a second surface opposite the first surface. The first surface is shaped to correspond with contours of a user foot. The second surface is adapted to rest on substantially planar surface. The insert includes a recessed cavity defining an opening from the first surface to the second surface of the structural member. The recessed cavity is shaped to stabilize a region of the user foot placed within the opening. An intermediate layer is attached to the structural member in a mating relationship with respect to the first surface. This foam layer is adapted to distribute a determined amount of foot pressure from the user foot with respect to the structural member.

  • Patent number: 8838263
    Abstract: The unique advantages of computer-controlled fabrication of a patient-specific orthotic device using an automated fabrication machine capable of following computer instructions to create 3D surface contours and new developments in non-invasive three-dimensional (3D) scanning have made it possible to acquire digital models of freeform surfaces such as the surface anatomy of the human body and to then fabricate such a patient-specific device with high precision. Such a patient-specific device brings significant improvement in patient-specific fit, comfort, and function of medical devices (and, in particular, to orthoses that require a close fit to the wearer's body to act effectively). The combination of these two technologies is ideally suited for the development of patient-specific orthotic devices. A patient specific ankle-foot orthotic device using this technology is disclosed. This exemplary device is used to help stabilize the ankle-foot region, for example, in patients with impaired gait.
