Australian university researchers and Princess Margaret Hospital for Children have teamed-up to help treat young patients with cerebral palsy, muscular dystrophy, and motor neuron disease in an unexpected way: through 3D printing. Curtin University’s Department of Electrical Engineering, led by Dr. Iain Murray, is using 3D printing technology to create splints, braces, and casts with embedded sensors. This development allows doctors to monitor patients’ progress, mobility, and treatment while greatly improving efficiency and cost – in addition to making tracking easier. The early-stage research has been most effective in evaluating accurate form in patients performing physiotherapy exercises, but has much wider implications for the effective treatment of long-term movement disorders.
