| description | Scoliosis is a structural 3- dimensional deformity of the spine that occurs more often
during the growth of an individual just before reaching the age of puberty. Variant
options are available to treat this spine deformity. The three major options could
either be observation, surgery or orthotics(bracing) depending on the angle of the
curvature a proper treatment may take place. Cobb angle is a term used for the
measuring of the curvature severity. Orthotics are mostly used when the Cobb angle
20-45°. However, there are also variant types of orthotics(bracing) and fabrication
techniques may as well differ. This research aims to conduct a comparison between
two methods of fabricating the orthotic devices (Spinal braces).
Manual(conventional) versus scanning technique (BioSculptor). Using each method,
three subjects were recruited and we were able to fabricate two spinal braces for each
of the three subjects. Few variations in circumference measurements were observed,
and the average percentage difference between the two braces fabricated was 5.9%
in circumference parameter. However, it was found that the manual method was
more flexible than the scanning in a few aspects compared with CAD/CAM system,
even though the scanning method proved to be more efficient and less messy. This
result made us concludes that there are many factors effecting the fabrication process
depending on the experience in making orthoses either manually or by using
scanning technique. |
