This paper provides an optimized rehabilitation orthosis for wrist and hand made by 3D printing. A trial group of stroke patients with hand edema was involved in this study on the effect of the orthosis for the 6-week duration. The effect of the orthoses on the hand edema was studied by measuring seven section sizes with a 3D scanner before and after wearing orthoses, including the thickness of the palm, the perimeter of the wrist, interphalangeal joint of the thumb and proximal interphalangeal of four fingers. The results showed that there were significant differences in various dimensions of the hand before and after wearing orthoses (P ≤ 0.005). This indicates that 3D printing orthoses have a positive effect on reducing hand edema.
