| Popis: | During accidents, joint dislocation is one of the majorly occurring injuries. Recent studies reveal that injuries to knee occur in around 20 to 40% of accidents and primarily while playing sports like basketball, soccer etc. People in the age group of 20–60 years are susceptible to these injuries and in some cases even beyond this age. Wear out of cartilage is the main factor for cause of knee injury. Sudden impact on the knee leads to the dislocation of knee. Orthopaedic surgeons have prescribed utilizing orthopaedic aids, medicines and providing rest to the dislocated joint. Usage of knee protective pads is observed to reduce the impact force but generalized designs that are manufactured conventionally are not found to be in a satisfied state. To resolve this issue, an attempt is made to provide an alternative to the traditionally made orthopedic pads by designing and developing a customized 3D printed protective knee pad. |
