Research on the Use of Special Shape Memory Alloys in Kinesiotherapy

Summary/Abstract: Shape memory active elements have numerous applications in the design of high-performance technical equipment used for joint rehabilitation. The implementation of actuation systems based on such elements has several incontestable advantages, such as actuation simplicity, easily controllable forces and function accuracy compared to classic systems. The actuation/control accuracy of these materials allows the gradual exertion of mechanical systems, which is characteristic to rehabilitation equipment meant for long-term usage. An assemblage was designed for the thermo-mechanical testing of shape memory alloy behaviour to determine whether it meets most applicative requirements of the medical field.
