A numerical study towards shape memory alloys application in orthotic management of pediatric knee lateral deviations
Abstract Exerting a constant load would likely improve orthosis effectiveness in treating knee lateral deviations during childhood and early adolescence. Shape memory alloys are potential candidates for such applications due to their so called pseudoelastic effect. The present study aims to quantita...
