Influence of Topography on 3D printed Titanium Foot and Ankle Implants

Salvage of Severe Foot and Ankle Trauma With a 3D Printed Scaffold.

Customized 3D printed ankle-foot orthosis with adaptable carbon fibre composite spring joint

Neuromuscular disorders and injuries such as cerebral palsy and stroke often result in foot-drop which can result in a person having great difficulty walking. Ankle foot orthoses (AFOs) or splints have been prescribed for many years now to limit the range of motion of the ankle, provide the patients with support and assist with rehabilitation. However the majority of AFOs require a long, labour...

The influence of foot positioning on ankle sprains.

The goal of this study was to examine the influence of changes in foot positioning at touch-down on ankle sprain occurrence. Muscle model driven computer simulations of 10 subjects performing the landing phase of a side-shuffle movement were performed. The relative subtalar joint and talocural joint angles at touchdown were varied, and each subject-specific simulation was exposed to a set of pe...

Influence of using 3D images and 3D-printed objects on spatial reasoning of experts and novices

This study focuses on the infuence of a three-dimensional (3D) graphic image and a 3D-printed object on the spatial reasoning of experts and novices in the medical field. The spatial reasoning task of this study required doctors specializing in digestive surgery to infer cross sections of a liver with a 3D image and a 3D-printed object in a situation where liver resection surgery was simulated....
