Non-contact optical scanners can capture the shape of the residual limb quickly, accurately, and reliably. However, their suitability in clinical practice, particularly for the transradial (below-elbow) residual limb, is unknown. This project aimed to evaluate the reliability of an optical scanner-based shape capture process for transradial residual limbs related to volumetric measurements and shape assessment in a clinical setting. A dedicated setup for digitally shape capturing transradial residual limbs was developed, addressing challenges with scanning of small residual limb size and aspects such as positioning and patient movement. Two observers performed three measurements each on 15 participants with transradial-level limb absence. Overall, the developed shape capture process was found to be highly repeatable, with excellent intra- and inter-rater reliability that was comparable to the scanning of residual limb cast models. Future work in this area should compare the differences between residual limb shapes captured through digital and manual methods.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s22186863","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,9,13]],"date-time":"2022-09-13T04:05:41Z","timestamp":1663041941000},"page":"6863","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Evaluating the Reliability of a Shape Capturing Process for Transradial Residual Limb Using a Non-Contact Scanner"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"22","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8645-9530","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Calvin C.","family":"Ngan","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Biomedical Engineering, University of Toronto, Toronto, ON M5S 3G9, Canada"},{"name":"Bloorview Research Institute, Holland Bloorview Kids Rehabilitation Hospital, Toronto, ON M4G 1R8, Canada"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1205-8811","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Harry","family":"Sivasambu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Bloorview Research Institute, Holland Bloorview Kids Rehabilitation Hospital, Toronto, ON M4G 1R8, Canada"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Sandra","family":"Ramdial","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Bloorview Research Institute, Holland Bloorview Kids Rehabilitation Hospital, Toronto, ON M4G 1R8, Canada"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4976-1228","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jan","family":"Andrysek","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Biomedical Engineering, University of Toronto, Toronto, ON M5S 3G9, Canada"},{"name":"Bloorview Research Institute, Holland Bloorview Kids Rehabilitation Hospital, Toronto, ON M4G 1R8, Canada"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,9,10]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"540","DOI":"10.1177\/0309364619865424","article-title":"Influences and trends of various shape-capture methods on outcomes in trans-tibial prosthetics: A systematic review","volume":"43","author":"Aslani","year":"2019","journal-title":"Prosthet.
