Clinical Trial Summary

In persons with chronic hand conditions, orthoses are often prescribed to improve daily-life functioning. In most cases, orthoses are custom manufactured based on a plaster hand model, which is a time-consuming and labor-intensive process. It has been demonstrated that the production time to custom manufacture hand orthoses can be greatly reduced by using three-dimensional (3D) scanning and printing, offering a promising cost-effective alternative to conventional costum manufactured hand orthoses. However, before setting up a cost-effectiveness study in persons with chronic hand conditions, insight into the effectiveness of 3D-printed orthoses on performance of activities of daily living (ADL) is needed, as well as insight into potential cost reductions. To date, this information is largely unknown. The aims of this feasibility study are 1) to collect data on the preliminary effectiveness of 3D-printed orthoses on performance of ADL, satisfaction with the orthosis and quality of life compared to conventional orthoses in persons with chronic hand conditions, and 2) to compare the production time and costs of 3D-printed orthoses with conventional orthoses.
