AB The aim of the study was to design an individual lower limb protes for a patient who suffered serious injuries in the ankle area. The orthos have a therapeutic, prophylactic, but also rehabilitative effect, and their main task is to protect and stabilize the musculoskeletal system. Attention is focused on the design of the model of the orthas using Autodesk - Meshmixer. The proposed orton contributes to improving the patient's life not only physically, but also mentally. Important aspects of the correctly chosen model of the orthes are knowledge of the patient's medical history, requirements and level of workload. The subjectivity of the assessment of the oreson model may be considered a restriction.
