    Area of Science:

    • Medical Devices
    • Orthopedics
    • Rehabilitation Engineering

    Background:

    • Accurate patient positioning is crucial for effective therapeutic interventions.
    • Current methods for immobilizing patients during treatment may be costly or require significant patient cooperation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To introduce an easily fabricated, inexpensive support for treatment shells.
    • To enhance patient immobilization and reproducibility of treatment position.
    • To minimize the need for patient cooperation during the application and removal of the support.

    Main Methods:

    • Development of a "drop-in" support system.
    • Fabrication of treatment shells using the direct plaster of paris bandage method.
    • Integration of the support with the treatment shells for patient immobilization.

    Main Results:

    • The support is easily made and inexpensive.
    • It effectively immobilizes the patient and reproduces the treatment position.
    • Attachment and removal are quick and simple, requiring minimal patient cooperation.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed support is a practical and cost-effective solution for patient immobilization in conjunction with plaster of paris treatment shells.
    • This innovation improves treatment efficiency and patient comfort by reducing the need for cooperation.
