SMA find very wide applications in various facets of robotic and bio medical engineering. In this paper, review on ankle/foot diseases and the effective use of heat treated SMA was carried out. The manufacturing industry normally uses a range of between 200°C to 400°C to shape any biomedical product which has been used as the benchmark temperature throughout this research. The results suggested that annealing of 200°C produced the best suited for generating substantial displacement which can promote early rehabilitation of ankle/foot. © 2017 Trans Tech Publications, Switzerland. date: 2017 publisher: Trans Tech Publications Ltd official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-85009727475&doi=10.4028%2fwww.scientific.net%2fKEM.724.112&partnerID=40&md5=d2812ed0a0f93c8c5b5cd34d61425a7e id_number: 10.4028/www.scientific.net/KEM.724.112 full_text_status: none publication: Key Engineering Materials volume: 724 KE pagerange: 112-116 refereed: TRUE isbn: 9783035710014 issn: 10139826 citation: Abdul-Rani, A.M. and Krishnan, S. and Nagarajan, T. and Rao, T.V.V.L.N. and Ramiah, R. and Ambaraj, W.
