The following illustrates a standard operating procedure (SOP) for measuring the heel bisection visible on a 3D colour scan within LaserCAM Prescribe.
Prerequisites
LaserCAM Prescribe installed
3D scanner capable of generating 3D colour scans
3D scan with a visible heel bisection
Goals
- Measure heel bisection using LaserCAM Prescribe
- Record Scan Angle
Heel Bisection Method
The heel bisection is used as a reference measurement during the computer-aided design process. As such is not assumed, nor required, to have any relationship with subtalar joint neutral.
Procedure
Capture/Import Scan
Create New Prescription, or select an Active Job and click Continue
Click 3D Scans
Capture a 3D scan, or click Import and select desired 3D scan
Orientate 3D Scan
Click the view cube that provides a posterior heel view
Orientate the scan in the frontal plane
Measure Heel Bisection
The heel bisection measurement directly impacts the morphology of the manufactured foot orthosis. This measurement must be provided by a suitably trained health care professional only.
Measure the heel bisection using the Measure Right-Angle tool
