    Area of Science:

    • Biomedical Engineering
    • Prosthetics and Orthotics
    • Digital Manufacturing

    Background:

    • Traditional upper-limb prosthetic socket fabrication relies on outdated manual techniques, leading to slow progress and high labor demands.
    • Modern digital manufacturing, including 3D scanning and printing, is often perceived as a simple solution for low-cost prosthetic devices.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of a fully digitized, low-cost trans-radial diagnostic socket fabrication process.
    • To assess volunteer feedback and expert commentary on digital tools in upper-limb prosthetic socket manufacturing.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized a fully digitized, low-cost trans-radial diagnostic socket making process informed by clinical principles.
    • Collected volunteer feedback on digitally created sockets and expert commentary on digital tool integration.
    • Analyzed potential failure points in the digital fabrication process.

    Main Results:

    • Demonstrated that 3D scanning and printing can be effectively utilized for prosthetic socket manufacturing when guided by expert clinical knowledge.
    • Identified specific examples illustrating how and why the digital process can encounter issues.
    • Highlighted a disconnect between technological developers and the practical needs of clinicians and individuals with limb differences.

    Conclusions:

    • Digital methods offer potential benefits for upper-limb prosthetic socket manufacturing, including improved patient satisfaction and reduced clinical workload.
    • Successful adoption of digital tools requires a process informed by clinical expertise, not just the technology itself.
    • While progress has been slow, digital methods remain a viable avenue for future innovation in prosthetic socket fabrication.
