Descripción
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 quantitatively define the applicable mechanical loads, in order to reduce treatment duration while avoiding tissular damage and patient discomfort. This is essential for performing a more efficient design of correction devices. We use a patient-specific finite elements model of a pediatric knee to determine safe loading levels. The achievable correction rates are estimated using a stochastic three-dimensional growth model. Results are compared against those obtained for a mechanical stimulus decreasing in proportion to the achieved correction, emulating the behavior of conventional orthoses. A constant flexor moment of 1.1 Nm is estimated to change femorotibial angle at a rate of (7.4 ± 4.6) deg/year (mean ± std). This rate is similar to the achieved by more invasive growth modulation methods, and represents an improvement in the order of 25% in the necessary time for reducing deformities of (10 ± 5) deg by half, as compared with conventional orthoses.
