Objectives
1. Eliminating subjective judgment in orthosis design through AI algorithms for a reliable therapeutic effect, utilizing 3D printing technology and biomechanical principles to improve patient comfort and compliance.2. Verifying the effectiveness and feasibility of the technology by obtaining quantitative data through pre- and post-orthotic X-rays, questionnaire surveys, and time costs, accumulating preliminary clinical data for subsequent multi-center clinical trials.
