Meizhou's first 3D printed prosthesis debut (Figure)

Every day from 8:30 am to 9:00 am, it is the time when Xiaotao Tao (pseudonym), 5 years old, trained 3D palms. Nearly half a month after spending the palm of this print, Xiao Taotao skillfully mastered its use, using it to catch oranges and play cars, which he had never felt before.

Recently, the first 3D printed prosthesis of Meizhou City was unveiled. The Meizhou Disabled Persons Rehabilitation Hospital assembled a “3D hand” for Xiaotao Tao, a disabled child who was undergoing rehabilitation treatment in his hospital. Li Lingfeng, director of the National Prosthetic Prosthetist and Director of the Prosthetic and Orthopedic Assembly Center of Meizhou City Disabled Persons Rehabilitation Hospital, said that the "3D hand" of the hospital has been able to achieve a simple grip function, and the amputee of different parts of the hand can pass the "3D hand". Completing daily hand operations is their immediate goal.

This morning, the reporter and Xiao Taotao walked into the "3D hand" training room. The rehabilitation trainer brought "3D palm" to Xiao Taotao's right hand and helped him adjust the position of the stable "hand". Only the small Taotao wrist was bent, and the "hand" was made of elastic rope. "Take five fingers to bend and smoothly grab the blackboard eraser on the table." After the training is completed, Xiaotao Tao still does not want to take down the "hand" or hold the hand of the mother beside him; or touch the wall next to him to see God; or use the power of the forelimbs to swing the "plastic hand" Let the "finger" wave in the air, as if dancing fingers. The reporter asked Xiao Taotao to like this new "toy". Xiaotao Tao, who is not talking inward, suddenly said with excitement: "Like, it is like a robot of Transformers."

Xiaotao Tao was born in 2010. His mother, Ms. Chen (pseudonym), will never forget the feeling of seeing Xiao Taotao on the first side. When the son’s left hand is in addition to the thumb, the other four fingers are short and all together. There is no thumb in the right hand, and both hands are like two small meat balls. The heart is very painful.

When Xiaotao Tao was a year old, his parents found that he would not crawl. He took him to the hospital in Guangzhou to check that the child was a cerebral palsy. This is for the couple who have slowly accepted the child’s hand. A heavy blow. However, Ms. Chen’s husband and wife never gave up the treatment of their children. Over the years, the couple who worked as sales assistants in Shenzhen Shangchao supported the treatment of their children with meager wages. "At the time, I took medicine, rehabilitation training, and our food and accommodation in Guangzhou. I spent more than 10,000 yuan a month." Later, Ms. Chen resigned and concentrated on her son's treatment. "The hand is not perfect, I hope that through the rehabilitation training, the leg can have strength and can walk like a normal child." Ms. Chen said.

Ms. Chen once took Xiao Taotao to seek medical treatment. She asked if she could do the surgery to separate her fingers, but she was rejected by the hospital. I heard that a hospital in Shanghai is relatively mature, but considering the cost, the family is late. Not dare to act. In August last year, the second child who had just left the full moon, Ms. Chen took Xiaotao Tao to the Meizhou Disabled Persons Rehabilitation Hospital, where she could carry out free rehabilitation training. Under the recommendation of the rehabilitation trainer, she became the 3D hand of the hospital. "The tester."

After training, Xiao Taotao can use a 3D robot to grab small ropes.

Nowadays, Xiaotao Tao can successfully grab large objects. This is what Ms. Chen did not dare to think about before. Xiaotao Tao can use the "3D hand" aids to eat with a spoon, which makes Ms. Chen feel gratified. "There is a thumb in the left hand. You can use the thumb and the four fingers together to clamp some items to exercise the strength of the left arm. There is no way to train the right hand. Now you can use the '3D hand' to train the right arm and the right shoulder. I hope that one day he can wear clothes with his hands." Ms. Chen is full of hope.
