Clinical Comparative Study of Personalized Shoulder, Knee and Ankle Brace

The traditional brace mainly includes small splints or gypsums. The manufacturing process is rough, and the flexibility is poor. In recent years, with the development of orthopedic surgery, rehabilitation concept, modern polymer materials, and biomechanics, great progress has been made in R\&D, production, and assembly of orthoses. In developed countries, orthoses is not only widely used after orthopedic surgery and the department of rehabilitation, but it has become the main auxiliary device for sports trauma surgery, immobilization, treatment, and rehabilitation training. Leading bracing company such as DJO has developed multi-brand correction devices such as Aircast®, Chattanooga, CMF, COMPEX®, DonJoy®, Empi® and ProCare®. However, these braces are not designed and manufactured based on patients. Individually designed products for anatomical structures still have many problems in clinical applications.
