XKAST ARM
XKAST ARM is a 3D-printed orthosis that immobilises the injured arm completely in a first step. Its flexion/extension limitation then gradually adjusts to the respective therapy level in a second step. As the orthosis is custom-made for each patient, it offers optimal support. The striking open structure is characterised by organic shapes with rounded edges, thus ensuring good ventilation and almost unrestricted access to the arm.
Statement by the Jury
The fascinating feature of this orthosis is its structure, which is stable and airy at the very same time. It does not appear bulky and restricts the user as little or as much as necessary.
