“…Orthotic devices are used to off-load specific foot regions with the aim to enable earlier mobilization, pain reduction and to secure successful treatment [1,2,28]. Despite their frequent use, information regarding the specific off-loading capacity of commonly used orthoses is sparse.…”

“…Orthoses are a frequently applied medical devices. About ten percent of the German population will use one at some point in their life [ 2 ]. One field in which orthoses are commonly applied is the foot and ankle, for example, to immobilize the ankle following arthrodesis [ 4 ], to unload the hindfoot in calcaneus fractures [5; 6], or to reduce mid- and forefoot forces after hallux valgus surgery [7, 8].…”

Introduction Orthoses are designed to achieve immobilization or off-loading of certain regions of the foot. Yet, their off-loading capacity for the specific regions has not yet been studied. Therefore, the aim of this study was to analyze the plantar pressure distribution of five commonly applied orthoses for foot and ankle in a healthy population. Materials and Methods Five orthoses (postoperative shoe, forefoot relief shoe, short walker boot, high walker boot, and calcaneus fracture orthosis) were compared pedobarographically using insoles on a treadmill to a ready-made running shoe in eleven healthy subjects (median age 29 years). Peak pressure, maximum force, force–time integral, contact time, and contact area were evaluated separately for the forefoot, midfoot, and hindfoot. Results The forefoot relief shoe, the short- and high walker boot significantly reduced the peak pressure at the forefoot with no significant differences between these orthoses. None of the five orthoses off-loaded the midfoot, but the calcaneus fracture orthosis and the short walker boot instead increased midfoot load. For the hindfoot, the calcaneus fracture orthosis was the only device to significantly reduce the peak pressure. Conclusions This is the first study to investigate the specific off-loading capacities of different orthoses for specific foot regions in a healthy collective. The knowledge of absolute and relative load shifts for the different orthoses is of fundamental interest for targeted clinical decision-making of physicians.

“…Due to the magnetic mechanism (16) between metallic building platform and connector we are able to dis-mount the platform and also print specific small and filigree samples (8). The chamber (10) was modified geometrical to reduce the resin (5) volume and is fixed by a 3d-printed special unit (19). All other components, like beamline (6,7,11,12,13) or mechanical moving system (1,3) are original components from Nobel 1.0.…”

In this study we demonstrate an overview about possibilities in using additive manufacturing for tissue engineering and orthopedic prosthesis. We show the possibilities to produce scaffolds by using a low cost commercial stereolithography system under the use of biocompatible hydrogels like Poly(ethylene glycol) diacrylate. We also demonstrate that it is possible to use a low cost selective laser sintering system to produce individual prostheses to support the healing process in many orthopedic issues.

Due to the frequent presence of comorbidities in patients suffering from rheumatism with increased perioperative risk factors, conservative treatment is often needed. Besides pharmacological treatment, physiotherapy and occupational therapy, a variety of orthoses are available depending on the individual indications. They can be used to stabilize or support joints, limit the range of motion, prevent unphysiological movements or provide relief for affected limbs. In order to choose the right kind of orthosis, the physician should know the underlying cause of disease. Furthermore, for patients with rheumatism many devices are available for daily living that use ergonomic handles or improved leverage effects to compensate for the often severe limitations and to improve the quality of life.
