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 29782 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 168, Prosthetics and orthotics.

Introduction
The selection of components to be used in a prosthesis for a person should take account of their amputation
level, stump and general physical characteristics, general clinical condition, functional capabilities, motivation
and needs, anticipated activities and social and economic circumstances. The environmental conditions to
which the prosthesis will be exposed and the locally available supply and maintenance arrangements must
also be considered. At one extreme the person is unable to use a functional prosthesis but desires a cosmetic
replacement. At the other extreme they desire and are able to achieve high levels of activity and require an
appropriate prosthesis. Some people wish to engage in specific activities that require particular components.
The prosthetic team with their educational and clinical experience has to make a choice of components based
on this information.
