About
Dr. Veerle Creylman is a leading researcher in the field of prosthetics and additive manufacturing, with a focus on improving the mobility and comfort of individuals with lower-limb amputations. Her work centers on the mechanical evaluation and optimization of transtibial prosthetic sockets, particularly those produced via laser sintering. In her highly cited 2019 study, Creylman employed Digital Image Correlation (DIC) to assess how cyclic loading affects the structural integrity of these 3D-printed sockets. This research is pivotal, as it directly addresses the critical balance between socket weight and strength—factors that profoundly influence patient comfort and daily function. By validating the use of additive manufacturing in prosthetics, her contributions open new design possibilities for prosthetists, enabling more personalized, lightweight, and durable solutions. With her work garnering attention in the field, Creylman is recognized for bridging engineering mechanics and clinical application, paving the way for advanced, patient-specific prosthetic devices that enhance the quality of life for amputees worldwide.
