The purpose of this case report was to investigate the application of a 3-dimensional (3D)-printed prosthetic hand to improve a child's participation, confidence, and satisfaction in gymnastic classes, specifically, horizontal bar-related skills.
A 9-year-old child was unable to participate in horizontal bar-related gymnastic skills due to a congenital hand deficiency. A prosthetic hand was designed, 3D printed, modified repeatedly, and incorporated into a program, which resulted in improvements in the child's ability to participate in gymnastics.
Using a 3D-printed upper limb prosthetic hand improved the child's participation, confidence, and satisfaction in her gymnastic classes permitting use of horizontal bar. To progress to higher-intensity activities, further safety measures and testing of the prosthetic hand are needed.
A 3D-printed prosthetic hand was manufactured and customized allowing closely monitored, gradually increased, participation in horizontal bar gymnastics.
本病例报告旨在探讨 3D 打印假肢在提高儿童参与、自信和满足感方面的应用,特别是在与单杠相关的技能方面。
一名 9 岁儿童因先天性手部缺失而无法参与与单杠相关的体操技能。设计、3D 打印、反复修改并整合到一个方案中的假肢,使儿童参与体操的能力得到提高。
使用 3D 打印上肢假肢提高了儿童在体操课上的参与度、自信心和满足感,使其能够使用单杠。为了进行更高强度的活动,需要进一步采取安全措施并对假肢进行测试。
制造并定制了 3D 打印假肢,使儿童能够在密切监测下,逐渐增加地参与单杠体操。
