Purpose: Swan neck deformity is characterized by hyperextension of the proximal interphalangeal joint and flexion of the distal interphalangeal joint. Orthoses, which are used in addition to conservative methods in the treatment process, are produced in various ways. Current three-dimensional (3D) printer technologies are also used in orthotic production. The aim of this study was to produce ring orthoses by using a 3D printer and to evaluate the satisfaction of the users. Material and Methods: The study was structured in two stages: 1) the production of customized orthoses, 2) the evaluation of user satisfaction. Computer-aided design was used in the design phase of the orthosis. The fused deposition modeling method was used in the 3D printing process. Polylactic acid was preferred as the thermoplastic material. The study was carried out with a total of 10 volunteer participants, 7 males and 3 females (the mean age of the participants was 55.2  5.31). User satisfaction was evaluated with the Quebec assistive technology user satisfaction assessment questionnaire (QUEST 2.0). Results: Custom-made ring orthosis was successfully produced with 3D printer technology. The average scores of 8 questions in Q-YTKMD were ranged from 4.00 to 5.00 points out of a maximum of 5.00 points. Conclusion: The current study suggested that it is possible to produce custom orthoses with a high user satisfaction rate in swan neck deformity by using 3D printers, which are increasingly used in the health sector nowadays.

“…The evidence that is currently available suggests that 3D-printed orthoses are effective in reducing pain when fabricated effectively and used in combination with occupational therapy intervention. 18,19 Kim et al 18 also identified that, compared with prefabricated orthoses, 3D immobilization orthoses improved user satisfaction significantly more when the users were brushing their teeth and dialing a phone. Chen et al 20 studied the clinical outcomes of 3D-printed casts on 10 patients after distal radius fractures.…”

Introduction: Additive manufacturing has the potential to revolutionize the orthotic fabrication process for health professionals. Although there is evidence to suggest the benefits of additive manufacturing in rehabilitation-related fields, there is still fairly limited evidence supporting the use of 3D-printed orthoses as an effective and feasible alternative to manually fabricated devices used for the upper limb (UL). The purpose of this scoping review was to examine how 3D printers are currently being used in UL orthotic fabrication within the scope of rehabilitation professionals. Methods: A literature search was conducted using five databases from 2011 to 2021. Two independent researchers reviewed the abstracts and full text of the articles. The PRISMA process was used to report findings, and data extraction and charting were completed according to the JBI-suggested scoping review protocol. Results: Thirty-three studies were reviewed as determined by inclusion criteria from various disciplines and countries. Eight diagnostic categories identifying indications for use were derived from the studies including arthritic conditions, burns/contractures and wound care, finger deformities, neurological and neuromuscular disorders, and traumatic, strain, and nerve injuries. Both benefits and challenges are identified with the use of 3D-printed orthoses. Conclusions: The scope of the 3D-printed orthoses produced in this review is broad and internationally widespread. More evidence is needed to determine the effectiveness of 3D-printed orthoses for each of the identified conditions, but the benefits outside of healing are obvious. The current state of the evidence suggests that this technology remains exploratory in respect to UL orthoses and is therefore not yet ready to be implemented in clinics. With appropriate supports and more evidence, 3D printing still has the potential to revolutionize the UL orthotic fabrication process. Clinical Relevance: It may be unrealistic for rehabilitation professionals to design and fabricate 3D-printed orthoses without the proper education or time, but it is important for health care professionals to have an emphasized presence in this conversation, as it is their responsibility to treat the patients. This suggests that co-design, combining professionals' expertise, might be the best approach to fabricating these devices for patients. (
