CAD/CAM Orthoses for Feet with Plantar Fascitis

The application of CAD/CAM techniques has significantly contributed to development of new tools, and application of new technologies in design and production of orthoses and prostheses. This papers gives an overview about use of Modeler, CAD/CAM system for design and manufacturing of insoles. It describes the causes and consequences of plantar fascitis, same as the usual treatment for eliminating the pain. It particularly emphasizes the elements of CAD/CAM system that should enable to insole designer the adequate treatment of feet wuth plantar fascitis. The paper presents Modeler, the developed CAD/CAM system, enabling efficient interfacing of all production phases. Modeler is developed by applying Open GL and Visual C++, and consist of five modules: module for foot scanning and processing of foot images, module for receiving and manipulating of input data, module for creating, modification and final adjustments of the insole, postprocessor, and database module.
