Despite the growing use of
orthoses in clinic, sports and everyday life, and availability of a number of
medical guides and atlases for orthoses the line of activity, involvingmechanical and mathematical modeling of "Leg-Orthosis" system, is as
yet only at the beginning of its development.
Orthosis |
Publications relating to
modeling limbs orthotics per se (biomechanics of foot and insoles constitutes
actually a separate independent area of research) by methods of solid
mechanics, are isolated yet, and they relate only to orthosis itself and
completely ignore the very limb and its mechanical properties. At the same time
such studies are needed to resolve a number of important issues. For example,
it is known that the rate of tissue regeneration depends on the loading level
and program. It is therefore important to find out whether it is possible to
control the limb unloading in an orthosis – for example, through a change in
the orthosis lateral compression, etc. Read more>>>>>>>
