In the IPOS/CANFIT-PLUS trans-femoral system the input method involves selecting the appropriate brim for a patient, taking a series of circumference measurements along the stump, and entering the data into a computer. The successful application of computer aided design/computer aided manufacture (CAD CAM) technology to the production of prosthetic sockets is contingent on the acquisition of reliable input data (Engsberg et al., 1993). This measurement adapter accommodates all IPOS/CANFIT-PLUS trans-femoral brim sizes and shapes, allows brim positioning, provides adequate stability, and provides a substantial cost saving by using existing, functional hardware as a base. Nielen *Ī computer aided design/computer aided manufacture (CAD CAM) brim measurement adapter was designed for use with a Berkeley casting stand. Technical note: A trans-femoral brim adapter for CAD CAM measurements D. The International Society for Prosthetics and Orthotics (ISPO), is a multi-disciplinary organization comprised of persons who have a professional interest in the clinical, educational and research aspects of prosthetics, orthotics, rehabilitation engineering and related areas.
