| Popis: | Technology allows the realization of individualized immobilization splints by Advanced Manufacturing techniques based on additive manufacturing, industrial digitalization and reverse engineering. In this sense, good results have been achieved in the optimization of the design process, the reduction of manufacturing costs, the development of materials used and the environmental impact. However, its denitive implementation requires other factors of improvement that take into account the initial sanitary use for which they were designed. e present study aims to provide functional characteristics in the initial design to a splint for rehabilitation of partial Achilles tendon rupture. e result allows applying simultaneous rehabilitation techniques during the immobilization stage of the aected limb in order to minimize the possible muscular, joint and vascular complications derived from the application of the classic retention devices in this phase of the treatment.
