Evaluation of trachea kinetics in men and beagle dogs as a basic information for prosthesis construction.
Morphometric investigations on trachea kinetics in man and beagle dogs were undertaken to find out the range of motility in different moving planes. The results show a special mechanism of load distribution over the whole organ during movement. The minimal and the mean values for bending and torsion were recorded and made reproducible for to examine a trachea prosthesis in laboratory tester on its suitability for organ replacement.
