İmmobilizasyon El ve Bilek Ortezlerinin Sınıflandırılması ve Mekanik Özelliklerinin İncelenmesi

Abstract

Ortez vücudun herhangi bir bölgesini destekleyen, şekil bozukluklarını düzelten, deformasyonun neden olduğu ağrıyı azaltan 3 boyutlu bir malzemedir. İmmobilize el ve bilek ortezleri, travmatik yaralanmalar, postoperatif bakım, nörolojik hastalıklar ve kronik eklem rahatsızlıklarında kullanılan, eklem hareketini kısıtlayarak iyileşme sürecini destekleyen tıbbi cihazlardır. Bu derlemede, immobilizasyon amaçlı el ve bilek ortezleri fonksiyonlarına, malzemelerine ve üretim yöntemlerine göre sınıflandırılmış; farklı malzeme gruplarının kimyasal ve mekanik özellikleri mevcut literatür verileri ışığında karşılaştırılmıştır. Polimer, kompozit, metal destekli yapılar ve 3D baskı biyopolimerlerin avantajları, dezavantajları ve klinik uygulama alanları tartışılmıştır.

Classification of Immobilization Hand and Wrist Orthoses and Investigation of Their Mechanical Properties

Abstract

An orthosis is a three-dimensional material that supports any part of the body, corrects deformities, and reduces pain caused by deformation. Immobilizing hand and wrist orthoses are medical devices used in traumatic injuries, postoperative care, neurological diseases, and chronic joint disorders, supporting the healing process by restricting joint movement. This review classifies immobilizing hand and wrist orthoses according to their function, material, and manufacturing method. The chemical and mechanical properties of different material groups are compared based on available literature. The advantages, disadvantages, and clinical applications of polymer, composite, metal-supported structures, and 3D-printed biopolymers are discussed.
