Abstract

Kućni ljubimci zauzimaju sve važnije mjesto u svakodnevnom životu. Međutim često su i oni sami izloženi teškim tjelesnim ozljedama uslijed kojih ostaju nepomični ili bez ekstremiteta. U ovom radu analizirano je postojeće stanje na tržištu protetskih pomagala za kućne ljubimce u Europi i svijetu, te su definirani pravci razvoja takvih protetskih pomagala. Na temelju tih podataka izdvojene su najčešće ozljede kućnih ljubimaca te definiran dio tijela koji je najčešće ozljeđen, a za koji postoji mogućnost zamjene i primjene protetskog pomagala. Analizirani su biomehanički zahtjevi na taj zamjenski dio tijela, te u skladu sa tim zahtjevima ali i svojstvima suvremenih konstrukcijskih materijala izrađen je prijedlog konstrukcijskog rješenja protetskog pomagala za konkretnu ozljedu koji je potom i realiziran.

Abstract (english)

Pets are becoming more important in everyday life. However, they too are often exposed to serious injuries and as a result of which they become immobile or without limbs. This paper analyzes the current situation in the market of prosthetic devices for pets both in Europe and worldwide. It defines directions of development of such prosthetic devices. Most common pet injuries were selected based on collected data. Most frequently injured body parts as the ones with high possibility of replacement with a prosthetic device were defined. We analyzed the biomechanical demands of the replacement body part. In accordance with these requirements, as well as the characteristics of modern materials, we proposed a design solution for prosthetic device which was followed and implemented.
