Abstract
Low back pain (LBP) is a significant contributor to disabilities in the UK. Many factors cause LBP, including poor posture, obesity, and spinal fractures, all resulting in spiralling healthcare costs. If spinal fractures are not properly braced, they can lead to weakened vertebrae in the spine and larger risks that can reoccur. There are many problems with flexible, semi-rigid and rigid braces currently available on the market. We present the user-centred design approach undertaken by a multidisciplinary design team consisting of product designers, design engineers, technical specialists, and healthcare professionals to develop a bespoke 3D-printed spinal brace using a digital design workflow.
