Development of Innovative Modular 3D-Printed Dynamic Orthoses: Application Programs for Hand Function Facilitation in Patients With Stroke
This study aims to investigate the training benefits of modular 3D printed dynamic orthoses on upper limb function in stroke survivors.
Inclusion: Onset of stroke at least three months ago; Upper limb Brunnstrom stage II~IV; Shoulder can actively flex at least 45 degrees.
Exclusion: Diagnosis of other neurological disorders affecting motor control, such as neglect, Parkinson's disease, etc; Affected hand has regained autonomous grasping function, able to grasp and release a tennis ball 10 times within 2 minutes; Joint deformity or stiffness in the affected hand that prevents the use of the dynamic orthosis; Inability to follow therapist guidance; Currently undergoing other specific treatments affecting motor function recovery (such as rTMS and BTX).
