Effects of 3D Printing Writing Assisitive Device on Feasibility in Patients With Nerve Injury

NCT05589324 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 30

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Injury to the central or peripheral nerves can lead to limited hand function and further affect the ability of writing. The use of assistive devices can assist writing performance. However, the habit of holding the pen and the ability of the individual case will affect the selection of aids and the efficiency of writing. The 3D printing aids can be individually designed and adjusted to different angles and types. There is no criterion for 3D printing aids decision, often using a case-by-case trial subjective way to confirm, matching takes more time. Aim: To compare the applicability and efficiency of different types of 3D-printed writing aids in nerve injury cases, and to explore which factors affect the choice of aids.

Conditions

  • Nerve Injury

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

3D-printed writing aids task

Briefly explain how to wear assistive devices, confirm that the case understands how to operate, and conduct a writing task test. Situation includes no wearable assistive device,three pen placement designs with different angles (5 degrees, 20 degrees, and 30 degrees). Record the writing speed, legibility, posture, and satisfaction of the assistive device after each writing task, etc.
