Study protocol for a pilot randomized crossover trial: Comparing the clinical utility, feasibility, and patient outcomes of remote 3D-printed orthosis fabrication using an innovative heat-reshapable PCL

This study will provide the first clinical evidence on the feasibility and patient-centred utility of remote orthosis fabrication using an innovative heat re-shapable 3D printing material. Findings will inform whether digital workflows can extend access to hand therapy and support larger-scale trials to evaluate clinical effectiveness and long-term outcomes.
