Flexible Methodology for Quality Testing with Applications in Foot Prostheses

This paper presents a stage in the research on the development and implementation of a low cost, flexible, and efficient method for assisted testing of foot prostheses, as the case. This paper describes a method for assisted evaluation of three types of foot prostheses standpoint form deviation (hip prosthesis and two osteosynthesis plates for fibula and tibia). The key aspect of the developed method is a software application as virtual instrument programmed in this research stage. Its role is to provide as quickly and objectively as possible all necessary information on the results of testing. The main advantage of the created and applied virtual instrument is that it is flexible and user friendly, so that it can be successfully used in all orthopedic surgeries. This research stage (described) includes the software application programming and also its application to process all measured data in terms of form deviation for all three tested foot implants.
