Real-Life Use Scenarios

1. Post-Surgery Recovery
   • Scenario: A patient recovering from wrist surgery can wear the brace during daily activities. The lightweight design allows them to engage in light tasks, such as cooking or using a computer, while still providing necessary support.
   • Outcome: Users report increased confidence in performing daily activities, leading to a more active recovery process.
2. Sports Rehabilitation
   • Scenario: Athletes recovering from wrist injuries can use the brace during rehabilitation exercises. The brace's adjustable compression helps manage swelling while allowing for controlled movement.
   • Outcome: Athletes can gradually regain strength and mobility, with many reporting a quicker return to their sport compared to traditional casts.
3. Chronic Condition Management
   • Scenario: Individuals with conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome can wear the brace during work hours to alleviate pressure on the wrist. The breathable material minimizes discomfort during extended wear.
   • Outcome: Users experience reduced pain and improved productivity, as the brace supports their wrist without restricting hand movements.

Simulation Scenarios

1. Virtual Reality Rehabilitation
   • Scenario: Create a VR simulation where users can practice movements and exercises while wearing the brace. The simulation can provide real-time feedback on wrist positioning and movement.
   • Outcome: Users gain confidence in their rehabilitation exercises, learning proper techniques in a safe environment before applying them in real life.
2. Ergonomic Assessment Tool
   • Scenario: Develop a simulation tool that allows users to visualize how different activities (typing, lifting, etc.) affect wrist positioning and pressure points. Users can adjust their movements based on insights gained from the simulation.
   • Outcome: Enhanced awareness of ergonomic practices leads to better long-term wrist health and reduced risk of future injuries.
3. Wearable Technology Integration
   • Scenario: Incorporate sensors into the brace that track movement patterns and pressure distribution during various activities. This data could be analyzed in a mobile app to provide personalized feedback and recommendations.
   • Outcome: Users receive actionable insights that help them adjust their daily activities for optimal wrist health, enhancing both recovery and prevention strategies.
