| Summary: | This final year project report presents the design and development of a neck splint utilizing shape memory polymer (SMP) technology, specifically polycaprolactone (PCL). The primary focus is on creating an ergonomic and user-centered design to address current design gaps in neck injury management devices. By integrating SMP, the neck splint achieves a tailored fit and responsive adjustments, enhancing both comfort and recovery for the user. The design process prioritizes simplicity and practicality, avoiding overly complex methodologies to ensure ease of use and effectiveness. The resulting neck splint promises significant improvements in user experience and therapeutic outcomes, marking a substantial advancement in the field of neck injury management. |
