A system for making custom orthotic devices includes a housing, and the housing includes an opening sized to receive a body part. The system also includes a plastic sheet mounted to the housing such that the plastic sheet is in a position to receive pressure from the body part. The system also includes a ferrous material positioned within the housing. The system further includes an electromagnetic source that generates electromagnetic radiation to heat the ferrous material such that, in conjunction with the received pressure, the plastic sheet molds into an orthotic device for the body part.

A foot geometry data collection system captures geometric data of a subject's foot revealing deviations in Varus and Valgus throughout dorsiflexion and abduction range of motion. The system places the foot into a suspended state of load such that the musculature and bones of the foot interact to convey forces to the ankle and knee yet constrain the ankle and knee to remain aligned in a neutral configuration so as to reveal to any Varus or Valgus deviations.

A method for making custom orthotic devices includes mounting a plastic sheet to a housing. The method also includes receiving, by the plastic sheet, pressure from a body part of a patient. The method further includes directing electromagnetic radiation to a ferrous material mounted within the housing. The electromagnetic radiation heats the ferrous material, which heats the plastic sheet such that the plastic sheets forms into an orthotic device that fits the body part.

Anatomical measurements of non-visible aspects of features of living organisms that include a visible contoured shape on the anatomical region of the living organism is disclosed. The system and method include an imager configured to take a series of images of an anatomical region of a living organism, such as a human patient in a clinic, doctor's office, or hospital. The system and method create a three-dimensional digital anatomical model of the exterior or visible part of the anatomical region that includes a target feature, such as a breast, nose, foot, or tumor. The target feature within the three-dimensional digital model is then isolated and manipulated to find measurements of non-visible aspects of the feature, such as mass, distances between visible points which pass through invisible tissues, e.g., depth and base width, surface distance between visible points, volume, area, surface area, circumference, and surface angle measurements of the feature.
