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.
开发了一种新工具，并在X射线模型上进行了验证，以实现脊柱支具的个性化设计和调整。将外部躯干表面的3D可视化与潜在的3D骨骼结构对齐，使临床医生能够根据患者特定的躯干畸形，在躯干表面选择压力区域，以便在支具内部正确定位矫正垫。在制作支具后，临床医生可以评估实际的3D患者-支具界面压力分布，并与躯干的3D模型同时可视化，以便定制支具调整并根据治疗计划验证支具设计。
