3D printing: a revolution in the occupational therapy department of Clinique Valmont

In the context of rehabilitation, the occupational therapist sometimes recommends the use of aids to facilitate everyday actions for his patients. They generally order technical aids from a catalogue, which sometimes do not perfectly meet the needs of the patients and their lifestyle habits.

And this is where 3D printing comes into its own.

The occupational therapist can create a prototype that is perfectly tailored to the patient's needs and print it directly in the clinic. 

By choosing a technical aid from a catalogue, it is up to the patient to adapt. With 3D printing, the tool adapts to the patient.

Currently used by the occupational therapy department, 3D printing could also be developed by the physiotherapists and speech therapists.
