Sažetak
This paper presents finger reinforcements for wheelchair user’s gloves. Wheelchair users may experience injuries from constant use of their hands for pushing. Reinforcements should ensure good grip and support, avoid tension, possible difficulties and allow easier movement in the wheelchair. Reinforcements should be made to measure for each individual. They must cover the areas under the greatest tension and have a good fit. For this purpose, technology of 3D scanning and 3D printing are used. Thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) was used to make the reinforcement. Textile material is integrated into the 3D printed reinforcements. The shape of the reinforcement is defined on the cutting parts of the gloves and towards the knuckles to ensure uninterrupted use.
