Abstract Three-dimensional printing (3DP) is a highly disruptive technology with the
potential to change the way pharmaceuticals are designed, prescribed and produced …

Recent developments in the field of 3D printing (3DP) have led scientists to experiment with,
and assess the usability of, this technology within the medicinal field. This includes rapidly …

Measurement and production of traditional prosthetic sockets are time-consuming, labor-
intensive, and highly dependent on the personnel involved. An alternative way to make …

The fused filament fabrication 3D printing technique yields low mechanical strength
components as a result of the layer-by-layer building process. The choice of appropriate pre …

Prosthetic rehabilitation refers to the process of restoring or improving a patient's physical
function, appearance, and quality of life through the use of prosthetic devices. Providing cost …

Background Numerous sensing techniques have been investigated in an effort to monitor
the main parameters influencing the residual limb/prosthesis interface, fundamental to the …

The prosthetic socket provides the critical interface between the prosthetic device and the
patient's residual limb. Since each stump is unique in terms of morphology and mechanics …

This work proposes a digital methodology for producing patient-specific wrist immobilisation
splint and evaluates form, fit and functional aspects of the fabricated splint by finite element …

The objective of this work is to identify optimum pressure distribution of the prosthetic socket
under specific load using finite element analysis (FEA). In addition, this study includes the …

Transtibial prosthetic sockets can be fabricated either by the conventional way, which
involve using plaster of Paris bandages for casting. This will include modifications through …
