摘要
A new tool was developed and validated on an X-ray dummy to allow personalized design and adjustment of spinal braces. The 3D visualization of the external trunk surface registered with the underlying 3D bone structures permits the clinicians to select pressure areas on the trunk surface for proper positioning of correcting pads inside the brace according to the patient's specific trunk deformities. After brace fabrication, the clinicians can evaluate the actual 3D patient-brace interface pressure distribution visualized simultaneously with the 3D model of the trunk in order to customize brace adjustment and validate brace design with respect to the treatment plan.
