Computer aided design systems are finding use in prosthetics and orthotics in the production of customized components to match to and support body segments. Such systems consist essentially at present of shape measurement, computer manipulation of shape, and manufacture of the support surface or its mould. General themes of design philosophy, relationship of shape and pressure for body segments, representation and presentation of shape information by computer, surface adjustments, measurements and manufacturing geometry are considered. Aspects of existing systems are presented to highlight issues which may be the subject of future developments.
计算机辅助设计系统正被应用于假肢和矫形器领域，用于生产定制部件以适配和支撑身体部位。目前，此类系统主要由形状测量、形状的计算机处理以及支撑表面或其模具的制造组成。文中探讨了设计理念的一般主题、身体部位形状与压力的关系、计算机对形状信息的表示与呈现、表面调整、测量以及制造几何等方面。介绍了现有系统的各个方面，以突出可能成为未来发展主题的问题。
