3D Printer Poster

Much of the available equipment for patients with a spinal cord injury or disease takes a "one size fits all" approach. The equipment often does not meet the need of the patient in terms of control, access, or ease of use.

Imagine... greater patient independence with the help of 3D printing. Much of the available equipment for patients with a spinal cord injury or disease takes a "one size fits all" approach. The equipment often does not meet the need of the patient in terms of control, access, or ease of use. THE PROBLEM THE SOLUTION It's Broken With the help of the University of Utah School of Mechanical Engineering; University of Utah Health Rehabilitation has created a program that uses 3D printing to design custom wheelchair joysticks, upper extremity splints, as well as self-care aids. Custom Error Built for Me Doesn't Work Not What I Need The 3D Printing Program will allow University of Utah Health Rehabilitation to fabricate custom devices for a fraction of the standard cost to design and build custom splints and adaptations.
