Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Orthopedics
  • Medical Imaging

Background:

  • Traditional plaster casts for limb immobilization present significant patient discomfort, including itching, sweating, and hygiene challenges.
  • Prolonged use of plaster casts can lead to joint and ligament lesions, complicating recovery.
  • Manual fabrication of orthoses is time-consuming and prone to errors, hindering efficient patient care.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore advanced 3D scanning technologies as alternatives to traditional methods for orthoses manufacturing.
  • To evaluate the suitability of non-ionizing radiation 3D scanners for digitizing the human body for custom orthosis production.
  • To highlight the potential of 3D scanning in improving the efficiency and patient experience in orthotic rehabilitation.

Main Methods:

  • Review and description of various non-ionizing radiation 3D scanning technologies applicable to human body digitization.
  • Analysis of photogrammetry as a prominent and suitable 3D scanning technique for anatomical data acquisition.
  • Discussion on the integration of 3D scanning data into the custom orthoses manufacturing workflow.

Main Results:

  • Photogrammetry is identified as the most utilized and appropriate 3D scanning method for capturing human body geometry.
  • 3D scanning significantly reduces the time required for data acquisition compared to manual methods.
  • The adoption of 3D scanning technology offers a radiation-free alternative to medical imaging for orthoses fabrication.

Conclusions:

  • 3D scanning technologies, especially photogrammetry, provide a superior alternative to traditional plaster immobilization and manual orthosis production.
  • The implementation of 3D scanning in clinical settings can enhance rehabilitation processes and patient self-care.
  • Continued technological evolution promises further reductions in scanning time and increased clinical accessibility of 3D scanning for custom orthoses.
