Embodiment Design Process in the Development of Articular Orthosis

Ricardo Duarte, Antonio Ramos, and Michel Mesnard

Abstract—The development of medical devices entails several challenges in order to obtain adapted and more efficient devices. Orthosis development presents several particularities, such as human-device interaction which requires a human centered design that can achieve a successful device and customer satisfaction. Although the largest and most creative part of product development happens during the conceptual design phase, it is also important to materialize the ideas and considerations. This materialization happens during the embodiment design phase. In the particular domain of orthosis development a design process is needed to organize the prototype structure and gradually extracting the final product architecture. The aim of the work presented in this paper is to develop a design process during the embodiment design phase to help in prototype materialization during the orthosis development process.

Index Terms—Biomedical engineering, design process.
