On 4D Printing of Thermoresponsive Innovative Orthosis for Tennis Elbow Treatment

Key Points

• Enhanced mechanical properties of the thermoresponsive orthosis improve comfort and support for tennis elbow.
• The study shows significant improvements in recovery times, with reduced pain reported by 85% of users after two weeks.
• Assessment using a novel 4D printing technique demonstrated innovative design benefits in treating injuries effectively.
• This approach highlights the potential for new treatment techniques, but further validation in larger cohorts is recommended.
