Share Cutting-edge 3D scanners have been put to the test by researchers from the University of Southampton and partners Exceed Worldwide to help increase the quality and quantity of prosthetics services around the world. The study carried out within the People Powered Prosthetics research group compared plaster-casts and 3D scans for prosthetic limb users in Cambodia to establish the suitability of different digital technologies. The results, published in the Journal of Prosthetics and Orthotics, will help people to choose the right scanner for different uses – including new prosthesis design, replicating worn-out prosthesis, or limb shape monitoring – and assess whether affordable scanners in lower-income countries are fit for purpose.
