3D‐printed custom ankle braces for people with Charcot‐Marie‐Tooth disease: A pilot study
This pilot study suggests that a 3D-printed custom ankle brace may improve balance and reduce foot pain in people with CMT; however, larger-scale trials are needed to further explore the impact of this brace on function and balance. Further customisation of the brace may also be required to improve acceptability for some people.
