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.

项目概要： 我们在此 SBIR 工作中建议开发一种基于直接 3D 移动成像的足部矫形器 临床医生治疗和预防糖尿病溃疡等慢性病的优化系统 错位。所提出的系统超越了传统的矫形器生产过程，因为它 让临床医生可以直接、方便地从任何需要的地方获取患者的3D足部结构 姿势（负重、非负重或部分负重），提供全面的详细信息 研究患者足部生物力学，并通过有限元分析优化矫形器设计。这 所提出的系统还允许通过 3D 打印机进行本地测试和改装，从而提高舒适度 矫形器设计，从而改善当今面临的合规性问题。 所提出的解决方案将产生以下影响和意义： 促进有效 预防糖尿病足溃疡复发；更好的足部矫形器定制体验；更多的 舒适贴合，带来更好的合规性；并降低治疗费用。 糖尿病足并发症是常见且昂贵的问题。约3030万 根据美国科学院的数据，美国人中有 9.4% 的人患有糖尿病 矫形师和假肢师。在 60 岁以上的成年人中，大约四分之一的人患有糖尿病。随着人口老龄化， 预计未来 10 年该群体每年至少增长 7%。定制足部矫形器是 常用于治疗和预防足部糖尿病患者的复发。毫无疑问，发展一个 基于低成本、无处不在的移动平台的足部矫形器优化和快速原型制作方法 将对老年人尤其是中低收入人群产生重大影响。
