Rehabilitation assistive devices refer to products that prevent disability, improve, compensate, replace human functions and assist in treatment, including appliances, equipment, instruments, technology and software. Rehabilitation assistive devices are widely used to improve the quality of life and promote rehabilitation of the elderly, disabled people, injured patients and other people with functional disabilities. They involve all aspects of life such as living, washing, eating, moving, going to the toilet, housework, communication, etc., covering various fields such as medical rehabilitation, educational rehabilitation, vocational rehabilitation and social rehabilitation, and are indispensable in the rehabilitation process.

Orthotics are one of the rehabilitation assistive devices. An orthosis is a medical device used to support, correct or protect a body part, usually to improve a patient's function, relieve pain or prevent further injury. Orthotics can be applied to multiple parts of the body, including the spine, limbs and joints. The main advantages of 3D printing technology in orthosis manufacturing are: rapid customized manufacturing, functional integration, lightweight design, and improved wearing comfort and aesthetics of Orthotics.

The 3D printed orthotics in this article mainly include spinal orthotics (Cervical Collar, Lumbar Brace, Scoliosis Brace), upper limb orthotics (Wrist Brace, Elbow Brace, Shoulder Brace), and lower limb orthotics (Knee Brace, Ankle Brace, Foot Orthosis).

Traditional orthotic manufacturing faces many challenges: First, the complex structure of orthotics and the diverse requirements for material thickness in different parts have approached the limit of traditional processing technology; second, for products that need to integrate multiple functions, multiple independent parts are usually manually assembled into the final product, which is time-consuming and inefficient; in addition, children need to frequently replace orthotics due to growth and development, which puts higher requirements on manufacturing flexibility.

3D printing technology effectively responds to these challenges in orthotic manufacturing, and its advantages are mainly reflected in the following aspects: First, it significantly improves the design freedom and can achieve complex modeling and functional integration; second, it allows the material thickness of different parts in the same orthosis to be flexibly adjusted, thereby enhancing the flexibility or hardness of specific areas to meet personalized needs. These characteristics make 3D printing technology an important innovation in the field of orthotic manufacturing, providing patients with more accurate and efficient solutions.

There are several main future trends:

1. Reduce costs: Continuous optimization based on existing 3D printing technology aims to reduce the manufacturing cost of orthotics.

2. Intelligent integration: Through the integration of sensors and electronic components, real-time monitoring of patients' movement status and physiological parameters can be achieved. Using data analysis and feedback mechanisms, we continuously optimize the design and function of orthotics and improve the level of customization and intelligence.

3. Lightweight and comfort: We actively develop new lightweight materials to significantly improve the comfort and wearing experience of orthotics. At the same time, we optimize the design to minimize the impact on patients' daily activities and improve their quality of life.
