Basic Measurements for TF socket designed by measurement.

Use the Össur Leg Measurement form to record measurements:

Length: Identify Ischium and instruct to confirm when length gauge applies pressure to ischium

While patient is in full extension, compress tissue at ischium and apply compression to soft tissue proximally, with contact distally.

**If length of the socket is consistently too long, submit shorter measurement by compressing distal end OR measure from Perineum for length

Circumferences: Transfer Length gauge mark to the lateral aspect of the limb. This is considered Zero on all measurement forms. We can also refer to this as Ischial level.

Then mark the limb every 2 inches or 50 mm from ischial level

Record circumference measurements. We recommend recording the average between Tight and Loose. Accurate measurements will appropriately resize the templates within Össur Design Studio.

Height measurements

On the sound side, measure knee center to floor & Ischium to floor.

Enter patient Name and click Create Patient:

AK Template Options. Select the template for your patient and click Use

**If you would like to upload a template for your company, please email [email protected] and our customer service can help you get that set up. You may also click the yellow chat in the bottom right corner to ask for assistance setting this up.

Refer to hand measurements, Use the Reduce P2P (Point-to-Point) tool to scale the model to length measurement

Click Measurements from the tool’s menu
​

Select Circumference

Apply Circumference Measurements:

Circumferences are taken perpendicular to the Proximal – Distal axis. Templates are designed to dip below the anatomy anterior to the ischial level to allow the ramus to exit the socket. Therefore, the circumference measurement at Ischial level isn’t applicable to the template. We recommend deleting the circumference measurement at the Ischial level.

Select the Reduce tool. When the tool is visible, insert the desired hand measurements. Again, we recommend using the average between tight and loose measurements as the desired circumference.
