Sažetak
Shape memory alloys (SMAs) are a very promising class of metallic materials showing promising nonlinear properties, such as pseudo-elasticity behavior, shape memory effect and damping capacity, due to high mechanical hysteresis and internal friction. SMA have been recently applied in the field of neuromuscular rehabilitation, designing some new devices based on the above properties. The paper discusses possible uses of these materials in the treatment of movement disorders, such as dystonia or hyperkinesia, where their dynamic characteristics can be the key issue.
