Determination of the Stress-Strain State of the Structural Elements of the Elbow Orthosis Prototype

Rehabilitation of patients should not be limited only to the time of intensive treatment in the hospital, but also to therapy in the following stages, especially during daily activities, if the patient’s condition requires it. Such devices that help the patient during postoperative or post-traumatic rehabilitation after joint damage are orthoses. This paper provides an overview of various types of orthoses, selects material for structural elements of the orthosis, and determines the stress-strain state of the sample under study. Also, based on the necessary operating conditions, the engine and bevel gear are selected. The model of the orthosis prototype is presented and the stress-strain state of the structural elements of the elbow orthosis prototype is determined.
