Abstract
A method of constructing an artificial limb from individual components comprising providing a plurality of logical unit tables (2A, 2B) arranged to contain data related to a respective class of the components, providing a plurality of component records (4A, 4B) located in at least one of the logical unit tables (2A, 2B) arranged to hold data related to a respective plurality of components of the same class providing an interface field (6A, 6B) located in each respective component record (4A, 4B) arranged to hold data related to an interface of the component to which the component record relates, selecting a component record (4A, 4B) generating a list of compatible component records from a logical unit table (2A, 2B) other than the logical unit table containing the selected component record (4A, 4B), which are compatible with the selected component taking account of the information contained in the interface fields (6A, 6B) of the selected component record (4A, 4B) and the component records in the other logical unit table (2A, 2B), and constructing an artificial limb including the component to which the selected component relates and at least one component to which one of the compatible component records relates.
