ABSTRACT

Remaining in a static position for a long time is damaging to health, due to the effort made by lower limb joints. Problems include muscle pain, pressures harmful to hip, knee and ankle joints, as well as damage to the feet such as deformities, blisters, flat feet and point pain on the heels, arthritis of the knee and hip joints, high blood pressure and limited joint movement. The present document refers to an invention patent (Resolution 61468) from the field of medical engineering (bioengineering), a device to be used in operation rooms to reduce the risk of back injury among surgeons, releasing pressure from lower limbs by means of supports that reduce the load to be carried by their skeletal muscle system when performing prolonged surgery. The active orthosis device provides support to the pelvic region, reduces the loads supported by the lower back, does not inconvenience the surgeon during the intervention and prevents damage to the legs such as varicose veins by reducing the loads to be carried for a long time.
