Compas Prosthesis

The Compas Computerized Prosthesis Alignment System from OrthoCare Innovations provides the prosthetist with information about what is happening bio-mechanically. It includes a titanium sensor that measures the socket reactions (torques) in the anterior/posterior plane and the right/left planes dynamically. The system also determines the weight, balance, and gait timing of the prosthesis.

During evaluations in the clinic, a master module is mated to the sensor, a permanent part of the prosthesis, providing power, Bluetooth connection, gyroscope, and laser. Compas communicates with a host computer running software system that automatically interprets the Compas data with proprietary fuzzy logic algorithms, and displays and records the output numerically and graphically.
