Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Rehabilitation Technology
  • Digital Manufacturing

Background:

  • Traditional prosthetic fabrication requires multiple clinic visits, posing challenges for amputees.
  • Social stigma and emotional distress are significant concerns for individuals with hand or finger loss.

Observation:

  • A new method utilizes Computer Tomography (CT) data from amputees for prosthesis design.
  • Online collaboration between amputee and designer facilitates remote prosthesis creation.

Findings:

  • The proposed method enables the construction of prosthetic fingers using digital visualization, computer-aided design, and manufacturing (CAD/CAM).
  • A case study demonstrated the potential of this digital approach to address psychosocial concerns.

Implications:

  • This digital fabrication method offers a more accessible and efficient solution for prosthetic finger replacement.
  • Improved prosthetic design can enhance patient psychosocial well-being and reduce public exposure to limb difference.
