초록

This study used 3D printing to develop a wrist brace that prevents and alleviates carpal tunnel syndrome. The support and pattern of the wrist brace were designed after obtaining 3D data documenting the average hand size of women in their 20s and 30s. The support was modeled by separating the back and the palm of the hand. The support variables were set using two types of thickness and four types of internal infill density in 3D printing. Subjective evaluations to select the optimal support were conducted on seven participants whose hand sizes corresponded to the average for women in their 20s and 30s. The results showed that the best variables for the back and palm supports were 2 mm thickness and 50% infill density and 3 mm thickness and 50% infill density, respectively. The subjective evaluation, which compared the developed wrist brace to a commercially available product, demonstrated the highest level of wearable satisfaction. The wrist brace developed in this study is expected to help prevent and alleviate carpal tunnel syndrome because it provides optimal wearability while supporting the wrist without compression.
