What is the function of the CCMI (Custom Contour Measuring Instrument)?
A. The CCMI is a specially designed measuring device used to accurately record the physical measurements and elevation of the leg. It records fifteen different anatomical reference points in preparation for the creation of a custom brace. Measuring tapes at the thigh and calf take into account the width and depth of these areas while contours report an accurate arch of the thigh and calf cuffs. The angle of the knee joint and the girth of the knee are taken to complete the measuring of the leg. From these measurements we are able to generate a product that is truly specific to the patient.
