De­sign, de­vel­op­ment and struc­tur­al op­ti­mi­sa­tion of or­thoses and pros­the­ses, FHNW School of Life Sciences

Our expertise encompasses the digital development of patient- and application-specific orthotic and prosthetic systems across an end-to-end, data-driven process chain. The focus is on functional, biomechanical and structural optimisation using modern CAx methods, simulation, design automation and additive manufacturing.

Using medical imaging data (CT, MRI), optical 3D scans and functional measurement data (e.g. pressure and motion analyses), we develop customised solutions that specifically take into account anatomical conditions, load paths and patient-specific requirements.
