Project Summary: We propose in this SBIR effort to develop a direct 3D mobile imaging based foot orthotics optimization system for clinicians to treat and prevent chronic conditions such as diabetic ulceration and malalignment. The proposed system leaps beyond the traditional orthotics production process, as it allows clinicians to directly and conveniently acquire patients' 3D foot structure from any needed postures (either weight bearing, non-bearing, or partial weight bearing), provides comprehensive details on patients' foot biomechanics, and optimizes orthotics design through finite element analysis. The proposed system also allows localized testing and refitting through a 3D printer, facilitating comfort orthotics design and thus improving the compliance issue faced today. The proposed solution will have the following impact and significance: facilitate effective prevention of the recurrence of diabetic foot ulcers; better foot orthotics customization experience; more comfort fit leading to better compliance; and lower treatment cost. Diabetic foot complications are common and costly problem. Approximately 30.3 million Americans, 9.4 percent of the U.S. population have diabetes, according to the American Academy of Orthotists and Prosthetists. In adults over age 60, about 1 in 4 have diabetes. With the aging population, this group is expected to grow at least 7% per year for the next 10 years. Custom foot orthotics are commonly used to treat and prevent the recurrence of foot diabetics. Undoubtedly, the development of a low cost and ubiquitous mobile platform based foot orthotics optimization and rapid prototyping method will have significant impact on the elderlies especially for the low and middle income sufferers.

项目摘要： 我们在这项SBIR努力中提出了开发基于3D移动成像的直接脚踏矫正器 临床医生的优化系统治疗和预防慢性疾病，例如糖尿病性溃疡和 恶意。提议的系统超越了传统的矫正生产过程 允许临床医生直接，方便地从任何所需的 姿势（重量轴承，不含糊或部分负重轴承），提供全面的细节 在患者的脚生物力学上，并通过有限元分析优化矫形器设计。这 拟议的系统还允许通过3D打印机进行局部测试和改装，从而促进舒适性 矫形器设计，从而改善了当今面临的合规性问题。 拟议的解决方案将具有以下影响和意义：促进有效 预防糖尿病足溃疡的复发；更好的脚矫形定制体验；更多的 舒适性适合提高更好的合规性；和较低的治疗成本。 糖尿病脚并发症是常见的，昂贵的问题。约30030万 根据美国学院的说法，美国人中有9.4％的人患有糖尿病 矫正者和假肢。在60岁以上的成年人中，大约四分之一患有糖尿病。随着人口老龄化， 预计该组在未来10年内每年至少增长7％。定制的脚踏矫正器是 通常用于治疗和防止足部糖尿病患者复发。毫无疑问，发展 低成本和普遍存在的移动平台基于脚矫形器优化和快速原型制作方法 将对老年人有重大影响，尤其是对低收入和中等收入的患者。
