Applications of Shape Memory Materials in Orthopedics
Shape memory materials (SMAs) exhibit unique mechanical properties suitable for orthopedic and medical applications. When deformed, SMAs can sustain large strains with minimal load increase, showing pseudoelastic behavior. This property allows for constant corrective stress in orthoses, aiding in the treatment of conditions like equinovarus foot deformity.
