Abstract:
Rapid prototyping approaches offer significant opportunities in terms of potential innovative products. These opportunities are widely used in all disciplines of science. Among these are the treatment processes of musculoskeletal system disorders. Orthoses are used extensively in the treatment of musculoskeletal disorders. Conventional methods used in the manufacture of orthotic devices offer rather general solutions than offering individual solutions. This leads to disadvantages for patients both in terms of comfort and treatment process. The special design and manufacture of orthosis for the removal of these disadvantages is an intense field of work in recent years. Rapid prototyping approaches stand out in these studies. The use of rapid prototyping approaches in the personalization of orthoses provides significant advantages in terms of functionality and geometric fit (dimensional accuracy, ergonomics, etc.). In this study, studies using rapid prototyping approaches in the design and manufacturing of orthoses are examined and compared with traditional manufacturing methods.
