Bad research, cherry picked candidates. No survivor should be left behind.

Abstract: Study explored the feasibility of using three-dimensional printable (3DP) elastic materials to create dynamic hand orthoses for stroke survivors. A dynamic orthosis featuring a replaceable finger component was fabricated using 3DP elastic materials. Duplicates of the finger component were printed using different materials ranging from low stiffness (low elastic modulus) to relatively high stiffness (high elastic modulus). Five stroke survivors with predominantly moderate hand impairment(So cherry picking! The only goal in stroke is 100% recovery for all!) were recruited to evaluate usability and impact of orthoses on upper-extremity function and biomechanics. No significant differences in usability were found between 3D-printed orthoses and a commercial orthosis. Increases in stiffness of the 3DP material reduced pincer force and the Box and Block Test (BBT) score. In comparison, the commercial orthosis did not reduce pincer force but may reduce the BBT score to a degree that is clinically significant. These findings suggest that a dynamic orthosis is a feasible clinical application of 3DP elastic materials, and future study is warranted.
