This project aims to lay the foundations for a step change in brace treatment for adolescents with scoliosis by making way for digital design of 3D printed modular scoliosis braces. These braces will be lighter, more comfortable, and more cosmetically attractive than traditional designs. These improvements could have a huge impact on the quality of life of patients as well as increasing compliance and therefore treatment success. Specific objectives of the PhD include: O1) Understand clinician/patient needs. Identify what is needed for stakeholder buy in. O2) Develop a digital rectification process to provide smart templates of patient's torsos. O3) Assess performance of CAD/CAM orthoses compared to traditional brace designs. O4) In vitro testing of modular brace design and comparison to single part brace designs.

该项目旨在通过为3D打印模块化脊柱侧弯支具的数字化设计铺平道路，为青少年脊柱侧弯支具治疗的阶段性变化奠定基础。这些背带将比传统设计更轻、更舒适、更具美观吸引力。这些改善可能会对患者的生活质量产生巨大影响，并增加依从性，从而提高治疗成功。博士学位的具体目标包括：O1)了解临床医生/患者的需求。确定利益相关者需要什么才能买入。O2)开发数字矫正流程，以提供患者躯干的智能模板。O3)评估与传统支撑设计相比的CAD/CAM矫形器的性能。O4)模块化支架设计的体外测试以及与单一部件支架设计的比较。
