Abstract
Brace migration undermines therapeutic efficacy, which is traditionally evaluated through walking experiments. This study developed an interaction model that considered the instantaneous center of rotation (ICR) misalignment to predict migration. The model was validated by walking experiment. Results show a strong positive correlation for four-linkage (FL) (r = 0.952, p < 0.01, root mean squared error (RMSE) = 0.53 mm) and spur gear (SG) (r = 0.898, p < 0.01, RMSE = 1.35 mm) mechanisms. The FL exhibits lower migration than SG (p < 0.05). In conclusion, the interaction model accurately predicts migration, emphasizing the influence of mechanism on migration.
