Rehabilitation

Our university is working on an important project to introduce CAD/CAM technologies in orthopedics and rehabilitation engineering to help children affected by the military conflict.

We are incredibly glad that our university has even more people who are not indifferent to help in the rehabilitation, restoration and prosthetics of our veterans and victims of military aggression!

Modern technologies are steadily entering our lives. Medicine is an integral part of this process. This industry, with its thousands of years of history, is now arming itself with new medical devices. Know-how in medicine literally saves people from death and brings them back to full life, especially now, in times of a terrible bloody war.

Our university continues to work on the restoration of our defenders together with the Charitable Foundation “Center for Complex Endoprosthetics, Osteointegration and Bionics” and the Public Union “Center for Interdisciplinary Basic and Applied Human Research”.

Representatives of the Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute took part in the presentation of innovative knee units by Parashar Industries, the only official manufacturer of modern components for lower limb prostheses in Ukraine.

Today, on December 3, the world celebrates the International Day of Persons with Disabilities to remind society of the importance of equality, barrier-free access, tolerance and humanity.

Social protection, veteran policy and development of inclusiveness at the university. Kyiv Polytechnic plans to implement crucial social projects together with the Ukraine Task Force (UTF) of the Florida State University (FSU).  

This is already the IV international scientific and practical conference organised by the Faculty of Biomedical Engineering (‘FBMI’) of Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute. This time, it brought together scientists, medical and engineering professionals from Ukraine, Australia, the USA, Italy and the Netherlands to discuss the prospects for the development of rehabilitation technologies and share best practices in training qualified rehabilitation specialists.

The scientific student group “Experimental Research of New Materials and Biomechanical Systems”, which operates at the Department of Dynamics and Strength of Machines and Resistance of Materials of the Educational and Research Mechanical Engineering Institute, is an example of the important work of young scientists and students in creating prostheses for wounded soldiers and anyone who needs surgery to restore mobility.

At the initiative of the National Council of Sports Rehabilitation of Defenders of Ukraine, the Kyiv Polytechnic Institute is introducing a training course “Adaptive trainer-instructor for military personnel, war veterans and their families” as part of the work of the Training and Innovation Cent
