1. A computer-based system for dynamic alignment of prosthetic limbs for a subject configured therewith, comprising:
- means for obtaining motion data of a prosthesis-equipped subject in motion;
a motion database comprising multiple motions with known prosthetic alignment errors;
a motion blending engine configured for blending said motion data with selected said motions with known prosthetic alignment errors from the motion database into blended data and a computer configured for receiving the blended data from the blending engine, said computer being configured to calculate a prosthesis alignment error correction for the prosthesis-equipped subject from the blended data.

Abstract
An objective method and system for dynamic analysis of prosthesis-bound subjects for determining optimal prosthesis alignment adjustments consists of a motion detection system, motion database, blending engine and algorithms, and a graphical user interface with suitable program controls whereby manual, semi-automatic, or fully automated analysis of a prosthesis-equipped subject'"'"'s motion performance can be done in real time to determine objectively the optimal adjustments for the subject'"'"'s prosthesis in a precise clinical protocol context.

19. A method for determining alignment adjustments for the prosthesis of a prosthesis-equipped subject, said method comprising:
-
collecting motion data from a prosthesis-equipped subject in motion; comparing the subject'"'"'s motion data to a database of records of motion with known prosthetic alignment errors to identify related records; blending the subject'"'"'s motion data with the related records to create blended data computing from the blended data the prosthetic alignment errors of the subject in motion; and utilizing the computed prosthetic alignment errors of the subject in motion for determining corrective adjustments to the prosthesis. - View Dependent Claims (20)
