Abstract

Orthosis is a 3D material that supports the deformed field. These orthotic materials are used to help weak muscle function, to support muscles and joints, to correct posture, to continue to work despite unbalanced movements, and to heal fractures. Upper and lower extremity orthosis practices are available. Upper limb orthosis; shoulder, elbow, wrist, hand or fingers. Prevents or supports unwanted movements. There are various upper extremity orthoses called fingers, hand splints, hand and wrist atrophy, elbow orthosis, shoulder orthosis according to the region where they are practiced. Orthoses applied to the hand and arm are usually provided for short-term use. Nowadays, with the new generation of the industrial orthosis and 3D designs, the treatment of deformity has become possible by using simulation techniques on the biomechanical data. The purpose of this study is to discuss the advantage of the 3-dimensional PLA-based finger-tipped orthosis on the individual's superiority against other conventional methods and designs in the treatment of upper limb finger conservative treatment.

PLA TABANLI ÜST EKSTREMITE PARMAK ORTEZI 3 BOYUTLU TASARIMI VE BASKISI

Abstract

Ortez, deformite olmuş bölgeyi destekleyen 3 boyutlu
bir malzemedir. Bu ortez malzemeler, zayıf bir kas işlevine yardımcı olmak,
kasları ve eklemleri desteklemek, duruşu düzeltmek, dengesiz hareketlere rağmen
çalışmaya devam etmek ve kırıkları iyileştirmek için kullanılır. Üst ve alt
ekstemite ortez uygulamaları mevcuttur. Üst ekstremite ortezi; omuz, dirsek,
bilek, el veya parmaklar için uygulanır. İstenmeyen hareketleri önler veya
destekler. Uygulandığı bölgeye göre parmak ateli, el splinti, el ve bilek
atrofisi, dirsek ortezi, omuz ortezi olarak adlandırılan çeşitli üst ekstremite
ortezleri vardır. Genellikle kısa süreli kullanım için el ve kola uygulanan
ortezler öngörülmüştür. Günümüzde, endüstriyel yeni jenerasyon ortezi ile 3
boyutlu tasarımlarla kişiye özel biyomekanik veriler üzerinden simülasyon
teknolojileri kullanılarak deformitenin tedavisi mümkün hale gelmiştir. Bu
çalışmanın amacı, üst ekstremite parmak konservatif tedavisinde kişiye özel 3
boyutlu PLA tabanlı parmak ateli ortezi tekniğinin diğer sitatik yöntem ve
tasarımlara karşı avantajını tartışmaktır.
