Input stage and guideline. a The limb mesh model is placed upon XY plane along X-axis with the palm facing up. The curves are drawn on XY plane. Select the 3 geometries and input to the parametric components in Grasshopper 3D. b Samples of input curves and corresponding generated splints. (a) Drawing input curve for defining immobile area; (b) Basic-surface generation—(b1) Generating gradual curves, (b2) Projected cross-sections, (b3) Covering surface, and (b4) Offsetting the covering surface; and (c1) Unclosed curves at intersection, (c2) Point extraction, and (c3) Regenerating closed curves
