Description
Nominal supplied layer thickness closure, without orthotic design guidance.
Foot and footwear research uses geometric dimensions, contact cells, forces, and measurement records. A length margin, normalized difference, or contact share has a specific measurement basis and can omit important three-dimensional or sensor effects. Arithmetic on supplied observations is separate from a validated clinical assessment.
Nominal supplied layer thickness closure, without orthotic design guidance.
When to use this tool
Use Orthotic Bench Thickness Gap when you have supplied foot, footwear, bench, or recording data and need this measurement or record-support calculation.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter measuredThickness, baseThickness, overlayThickness. Use the units and conventions below.
- Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
- Read expectedThickness, gap. Use the output convention below.
For nonnegative measuredThickness, baseThickness, and overlayThickness return expectedThickness=baseThickness+overlayThickness and gap=measuredThickness-expectedThickness.1
| Input field | Meaning and units | Accepted input |
|---|---|---|
| measuredThickness | Measured Thickness | Required. Finite number; minimum 0. |
| baseThickness | Base Thickness | Required. Finite number; minimum 0. |
| overlayThickness | Overlay Thickness | Required. Finite number; minimum 0. |
| Output field | Interpretation | Returned shape |
|---|---|---|
| expectedThickness | Expected Thickness | Required. Finite number. |
| gap | Signed difference under the stated formula and measurement unit. | Required. Finite number. |

}Limitations and assumptions
- Use one common length unit. Adhesive layers, compression, curvature, manufacturing tolerances, and suitability of an orthotic are not modeled.
- Inputs must satisfy both the field types and the cross-field conditions above. Invalid input causes an error; a successful false flag or documented placeholder is a different result.
- Numeric calculations use binary floating point unless exact decimal-integer arithmetic is explicitly stated. No hidden measurement tolerance or decimal rounding is added; nonfinite or out-of-contract results are rejected. Signed zero is exported as zero.
Alternative or Complementary methods
Use a documented measurement protocol with calibrated equipment and appropriate geometric or contact models. Broader interpretation requires assessment of the underlying observations beyond one length, ratio, or support flag.
