Abstract:
A method and device for digital measuring and ordering a custom orthopedic device includes an interactive method intended to assist clinicians select, measure and submit precise specifications for patients requiring custom orthopedic devices. The method includes a plurality of menus permitting the clinician to input specifications and submit orders electronically with the specifications and other data packaged together. The method and device include visualization indications to appropriately ensure image capture of a limb from various angles, including posterior, anterior, lateral and medial angles.

Claim (Index 10):
A device for ordering a custom orthopedic device, comprising:\n an image sensor configured to capture an image and to generate a viewfinder image; a display showing at least a depth of field guideline in the viewfinder image; a processor is configured to highlight a landscape or a portrait orientation on the display upon a gyroscope and/or accelerometer determining that the device is within a certain degree range of the landscape or the portrait orientation, and to provide a notification on the display if the device is outside the certain degree range; the landscape orientation corresponding to a longitudinal axis of the device being parallel to a horizontal axis and the portrait orientation corresponding to a longitudinal axis of the device being parallel to a vertical axis; the processor is further configured to enable capturing the image of a portion of a limb including a knee joint using the image sensor after the device has been positioned relative to the knee joint such that the image is within a certain degree range of the portrait or landscape orientation and satisfies a depth of field guideline; the depth of field guideline comprising a center hash mark corresponding to a knee axis, first and second guidelines corresponding respectively to first and second predetermined distances above and below the knee axis, and a vertical line, the image satisfies the depth of field guideline when the center hash mark, the first and second guidelines, and the vertical line of the depth of field guideline are respectively aligned to the knee axis, first and second markings applied to the limb at the first and second predetermined distances above and below the knee prior to image capture, and a center of the limb in the viewfinder image; and a communication interface is configured to transmit an order containing the captured image and patient information from the device over a network to a provider.
