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.

A variety of mechanisms, each designed with distinct specifications, find application in diverse sectors of the machine engineering industry. The utilisation of apparatuses comprising mechanical components in the field of medicine is also evident in the context of patient rehabilitation. These mechanisms are orthoses. The design of such systems is subject to a stringent set of specifications, which include compactness, light weight, and reliability. The purpose of orthoses is to replicate lost functions as closely as possible to a healthy human.
