3D Printed KAFO Splint

Industrial designer Or Steiner was looking for a way to give the old-fashioned and cumbersome leg brace a modern update. Steiner settled on using 3D printing technology to build this airy and structurally sound medical device design following a chance meeting with a patient named Ron who had been in an accident some years before. The accident left Ron dependent on a wheelchair or a set of leg braces and crutches, but the uncomfortable design of the braces made him unwilling to wear them, so Steiner's solution was a welcome innovation.

Below are some images of the 3D printed of the leg braces in action. What are your thoughts?

where can you buy these for CMT, drop foot?

Is there any follow up to this story? Would like to more about it and the design.
