Parametric design and three-dimensional printing: enabling Occupational therapists to develop custom hand grips

This study introduces an innovative design tool that enhances adaptability and specialized design in AT development by integrating digital fabrication into OT practice to create personalized devices tailored to individual needs. Our study highlights the importance of precise 3D printing parameter optimization to ensure that assistive devices are both functional and reliable. Ultimately, this study aimed to enhance activity performance, such as eating, for individuals with hand impairments, thereby supporting their continued independence in daily activities.
