The goal of this project is to optimize the design of the orthosis by establishing the key volumetric characteristics of the custom iterations in order to subsequently transpose them to a standard model and establish the increment proportions of the different sizes. The final product should reduce the pain by repositioning the phalanges of the first toe with the first metatarsal in its axis.
