GENERAL CHARACTERISTIC OF THE DISSERTATION
Topicality of the problem
Prosthesis in orthopaedic technique are constructions that act as leg function reproduction and for external normal view of the leg. It is a technique giving a possibility to adapt to the society and live a full-fledged life, when one or another limb is lost.
By the data, declared by the world health society, people with a disability include 10 % of all world population, among them people over 80 years old.
More and more orthopaedic techniques are produced in Lithuania at present. The production, manufactured in our country keeps in step with world design and quality in foreign countries and they are 5–6 times cheaper. The main aim of the designers and constructors of orthopaedic techniques is to design and produce functional and high quality lower limbs prosthesis and apparatus.
In the meantime, the same as abroad, in Lithuania the production processes of the prosthesis are automated but not so much to ensure a good quality of the prosthesis. Sometimes it is very hard to make prosthesis of adequate size to a patient that prosthesis implicitly fits just to the patient. Also, it is very hard to adjust it, ensuring the same length as the residual limb which should precisely correspond to the lost limb of the changeable loads chains of the prosthesis periodically are deformed during walking. In other words, the length of the prosthesis changes during gait. Thus, it is very important to set the limits of... [to full text]
