The current state of 3D-printed orthoses clinical outcomes: a systematic review.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

3D-printing is an emerging technology that is used in the manufacturing of orthotic devices. 3D-printing has many advantages such as improved fit, comfort, effectiveness, and patient satisfaction. While some challenges like durability and material selection remain, the aim of this systematic review is to provide a comprehensive evaluation of the clinical outcomes of 3D-printed orthoses.
