简介：关于3D打印过渡假体的使用知识有限，因为它们与功能和强度的变化有关。因此，本研究的目的是确定功能和力量的变化后，使用的3D打印过渡假肢多个星期的上肢differentiation.Materials和方法的儿童：粗手灵巧度进行了评估，使用框和块测试和手腕力量测力计测量。这项测试是在使用3D打印过渡假体24 +/- 2.61周之前和之后进行的。参与研究的11名儿童（5名女孩和6名男孩; 3-15岁）安装了3D打印的过渡部分手（n = 9）或手臂（n = 2）假肢。结果：进行了单独的双向重复测量ANOVA来分析功能和力量数据。结论和残疾与康复研究的相关性：手动总灵巧度的增加表明Cyborg Beast 2 3D打印假肢可用作过渡装置，以改善创伤或先天性上肢差异儿童的功能。
Introduction: There is limited knowledge on the use of 3 D-printed transitional prostheses, as they relate to changes in function and strength. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to identify functional and strength changes after usage of 3 D-printed transitional prostheses for multiple weeks for children with upper-limb differences.Materials and methods: Gross manual dexterity was assessed using the Box and Block Test and wrist strength was measured using a dynamometer. This testing was conducted before and after a period of 24 +/- 2.61 weeks of using a 3 D-printed transitional prosthesis. The 11 children (five girls and six boys; 3-15 years of age) who participated in the study, were fitted with a 3 D-printed transitional partial hand (n = 9) or an arm (n = 2) prosthesis.Results: Separate two-way repeated measures ANOVAs were performed to analyze function and strength data. There was a significant hand by time interaction for function, but not for strength.Conclusion and relevance to the study of disability and rehabilitation: The increase in manual gross dexterity suggests that the Cyborg Beast 2 3 D-printed prosthesis can be used as a transitional device to improve function in children with traumatic or congenital upper-limb differences.
