Digital techologies in prosthesis and orthosis of limbs and spine, their biomechanical efficiecy and impact on the rehabilitation process

Abstract

The article examines the use of digital technologies in the prosthetics and orthotics of limbs and the spine and their impact on patients' biomechanical movement parameters during the rehabilitation process. The study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of three-dimensional scanning, computer modeling, and additive manufacturing in the production of prosthetic and orthotic devices. A total of 48 patients participated in the study and were divided into control and experimental groups. Effectiveness was assessed based on the analysis of biomechanical gait parameters, including step length, walking speed, movement symmetry, and trunk stability. Statistical analysis of the results included descriptive statistics, analysis of variance (ANOVA), correlation, and regression analysis. The results obtained showed a statistically significant improvement in the main gait parameters for patients in the experimental group. It was established that the use of digital technologies in prosthetics and orthotics contributes to increasing rehabilitation efficiency and improving the functional mobility of patients
