A Line of Prosthetic Appliances
In 1989 by the Government decision the responsibility for development of up-to-date prosthetics systems for people with locomotor system damaged was laid on NPO Energia This trend became one of the leading ones in the conversion activities of the enterprise.
Serial production of wide nomenclature of modern modules and units for upper-and lower-limb prostheses and also orthopedic apparatus was developed and provided at RSC Energia based on a high scientific and technical potential of the staff and fruitful cooperation with Moscow and St. Petersburg organizations leading in the prosthetics field and the active support of Ministry of Health Protection and Social Development (Ministry of Labour) of the Russian Federation and Roscosmos of the Russian Federation.
The whole system of new prosthetic and orthopedic products was modular-constructed. A prosthetics specialist can assembly practically any prosthesis of separate modules individually for a particular patient.

The experimental stand base which is equipped with the required home-produced and foreign equipment was established at OAO RSC Energia. The base provides both the development and certification tests of POP modules and units developed and produced by the Corporation that assures the long-duration operation of prostheses in actual conditions.
For certification tests of produced in-series modules and units of prosthetic and orthopedic products (POP) for compliance with the Russian and International standards the test laboratory for prosthetic and orthopedic products was established at OAO RSC Energia. It is accredited in R GOST system.
For performance verification in actual conditions POP modules and units within prostheses are subjected to operational tests.
