Abstract: History is a mirror that can reflect the past, examine the present and predict the future. This motto will be used to tell the story of an engineer who made a career in orthopaedic research & patient care. Engineers, trained differently as opposed to the physicians or medical scientists, are rare to become a full-fledged faculty and a staff member in a clinical department. It is even harder for them to be accepted as equals among the clinical specialists. The legendary story of the ancient Greek King Ulysses is used to illustrate the extraordinary hardships and rewards an engineer had experienced in an alien field. It is easier to accept the new and abandon the old, but King Ulysses never lost his determination to fulfill his primary obligations. Thus, he was able to overcome the insurmountable challenges under the divine protection of the Goddess Minerva. In a similar manner, this engineer had the confidence and support from his colleagues and the fortune of being at the right time and the right place to pursue his undeterred aims under harsh conditions. All warriors will age and fade away, but the new breed shall follow the path and reinstate the glorious days they once established, kept and prevailed.

INTRODUCTION: Orthotic devices have been used for more than 2,500 years since the ancient Egyptian era and their improved design, fabrication and application through time made them an important and well-received medical and health maintenance apparatus for many decades. However, this category of medical devices and its therapeutic value have been grossly ignored in the health care field recently. Consequentially, the technical advances related to their design, manufacturing and clinical utilizations have been lagged far behind other devices and techniques mainly due to the rather subtle socio-economical factors and the medical hierarchical order, and thus, lowering the orthotic devices’ importance and their deserved clinical attention. Thanks to only a very few forward-thinking designers and manufacturing firms who are willing to devote their experiences and resources to develop the new generation of orthoses to improve their efficacy, comfort and ease in application to benefit a large patient population. The expanded use of these devices in the field of trauma, injury prevention and rehab will undoubtedly stimulate their future development to fully explore other possibilities. This presentation introduces the new concepts of orthotic device design, manufacturing, and application which will drastically reduce health care cost without short-changing its quality. It is hoped that the advances in orthotic technology gained in the spine arena will stimulate the same changes in other anatomical regions which will impact a large patient population involving trauma, occupational hazards, age-related degeneration and other musculoskeletal diseases and deformity.
矫形装置起源于2500年前的古埃及时代，并不断的在设计及制造上进行改进，使它多年来一直是一项重要且受大家青睐的健康维护装置。但是，由于相当复杂的社会经济因素和医疗等级，与此相关的技术、制造及临床利用率也明显落后于其他的设备和技术。因此，矫形装置重要性的贬值值得临床注意。只有极少数有远见的设计师和制造企业，把自己的经验和资源致力于发展新一代的矫形装置，提高其功效、舒适度和使用方便，以造福于广大的患者群众。在创伤、损伤预防和修复领域，这些设备的使用扩大，将毫无疑问的激发其未来的发展，并充分探讨在其他方面使用的可能性。本讲座介绍了矫形装置的设计、制造及应用的新理念，可大大减少高质量的医疗保健费用。我们希望，在脊柱上取得矫形技术的进步，同时会激发其他部位的技术改进，其中包括创伤、职业伤害、老年性退变、及其他肌肉骨骼疾病和畸形等方面。
