The present invention provides a method and a device for producing an
orthosis model for a patient. The method comprises the input of patients'
data, the determination of a curvature type of the patient's spine to be
treated from a predefined number of curvature types in dependence on the
patient's data, and the selection of at least one orthosis model from a
predefined number of models of orthoses in dependence on the specific
curvature type.
The device comprises a data input device being designed for inputting
patients' data, a data base containing a number of curvature types and a
number of orthoses models, a curvature determination device designed to
determine a curvature type from the data base in dependence on the
patients' data, and an orthosis model selection device designed to select
at least one orthosis model from the data base in dependence on the
determined curvature type.
