An angular alignment measurement device for prosthetic fitting.
A device to measure socket/shank angular alignment in a prosthesis equipped with a Berkeley Adjustable Leg is described. Angular alignment in the sagittal plane can be measured over the entire 20-degree range with a repeatability of 1 degree. This device can be a useful prosthetics fitting, teaching, and research tool.
