Characterising the Mould Rectification Process for Designing Scoliosis Braces: Towards Automated Digital Design of 3D-Printed Braces

Sanz-Pena, I.; Arachchi, S.; Halwala-Vithanage, D.; Mallikarachchi, S.; Kirumbara-Liyanage, J.; McGregor, A.; Silva, P. (MDPI AG, 2021)

The plaster-casting method to create a scoliosis brace consists of mould generation and rectification to obtain the desired orthosis geometry. Alternative methods entail the use of 3D scanning and CAD/CAM. However, both ...
Obtaining Patient Torso Geometry for the Design of Scoliosis Braces. A Study of the Accuracy and Repeatability of Handheld 3D Scanners

Sanz-Pena, I.; Arachchi, S.; Curtis-Woodcock, N.; Silva, P.; McGregor, A. H.; Newell, N. (Prosthetics and orthotics international, 2022)

Objective: Obtaining patient geometry is crucial in scoliosis brace design for patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis. Advances in 3D scanning technologies provide the opportunity to obtain patient geometries quickly ...
