Abstract

This paper presents an analysis of the mechanical properties of the novel device, which is used in the treatment of neuropathy. According to the human anatomy, a model of this device was designed taking into account the characteristic dimensions. The survey was conducted using Solid Works. The results of the conducted research provide information about the structural strength of the device under a given load. The values of stresses and displacements were determined by finite element simulation.
