Mechanical transmissions are widely used in various types of structures and mechanisms in different branches of the machine-building industry. One such branch is medicine. Devices with mechanical components are also used for patient rehabilitation in the postoperative period. Such mechanisms are known as orthoses. Structures of this type must meet several strict requirements—for example, compactness, light weight, safety, reliability, and others. Orthoses must reproduce the lost functions of a healthy person as accurately as possible.

Mechanisms with gears are used in various fields of mechanical engineering according to the needs. Orthoses are used to rehabilitate patients in the postoperative period or during the restoration of lost limb functions. For patients to comfortably use orthoses, they must be compact, lightweight, and reliable. Gear shafts are the most loaded structural elements of such devices.

Monasteries in the XVII–XVIII centuries to a greater or lesser extent were the cultural centers of the country, centers of theological thought, spiritual and intellectual activity. It is worth noting that the sacred buildings of that time are a sign of the presence of a certain people in the territory. The monastery in Shcheploty was a small Ukrainian monastery that played its own role in this process.
