Scientists are developing a program to create individual prostheses
Scientists from the TSU Faculty of Physics and Technology and the Institute of Physics of Strength and Materials Science of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences have described the behavior of the "bone-endoprosthesis" system in the hip joint at low physiological loads - walking, squatting, and turning. The results of these studies are part of a large-scale project to develop a program for modeling individual prostheses. Their calculations will improve the quality of prostheses and reduce the cost of producing them. This research also develops a personalized approach to patients that significantly improves their quality of life.
- The hip joint is the main supporting joint, it carries a significant load when walking, running, and carrying heavy loads. The need for the design and production of individual and high-quality prostheses is growing every year, - said Galina Eremina, a researcher at TSU and ISPMS.
