From Stigma to Style: Designing Personalized and Functional AFOs through 3D Printing

Více o knize

Exploring the intersection of functionality and aesthetics, this project focuses on revolutionizing ankle-foot orthoses (AFOs) through 3D printing. Traditional AFO designs often lack personalization and can be bulky, but this initiative aims to create stylish, individualized options that reflect users' personalities. By utilizing additive manufacturing, the project seeks to empower patients and healthcare providers with more choices, addressing the critical question of whether AFOs can be both visually appealing and functionally effective, transforming them into personal statements.
