Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies
(ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been
established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and
non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO 29781 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 168, Prosthetics and orthotics.

Introduction
The activity of a person with an absent or deficient lower limb segment may be described in many ways. The
various members of clinic teams in different countries develop their own nomenclature to record this
information. Hence there is a need for an international system to allow comparisons to be made. The system
described is designed to meet the needs of a clinic team in assessing a person and evaluating their treatment.
This International Standard indicates the minimum information concerning a person’s activity, which is to be
included in any description.
