  1. 1. Design and implementation of an energy harvesting system in a prosthetic limb

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Author : Ódinn K. Rúnarsson; [2023]
    Keywords : Energy harvesting; Prosthetic limbs; Supercapacitors; Printed circuit boards; 3D printing; Energiinsamling; Lemmproteser; Superkondensatorer; Tryckta kretskort; 3D Utskrivning; Orkuöflun; Gervilimir; Ofurþéttar; Prentaðar rafrásir; Þrívíddarprentun;

    Abstract : Energy Harvesting, also known as power harvesting or ambient power, is the process of obtaining small amounts of power from secondary sources, such as vibrations, light, temperature variations and even radio-frequency emissions. These systems have been uncommon in personal and wearable electronics in the past, however they are slowly gaining traction. READ MORE

  3. 2. Characterization of monkey fat tissues : To assist their viability for fat intra-body communication as an early step of non-human primate testing (NHP)

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för materialvetenskap

    Author : Qsai Alyounes; Alkari Razan; [2022]
    Keywords : Fat-IBC; Monkey tissues; Phantoms; Network analyzer; Dielectric proporties;

    Abstract : Fat intra-body communication is a newly proven concept that is built on using human fat tissues as a communication channel for electromagnetic waves inside the body. This allows for two implanted external devices to connect through an intra-body closed-loop communication channel. READ MORE

  4. 3. Microprocessor-controlled prosthetic knee: Exploring clinicians’ experience of prescription processes in different regions in Sweden : A qualitative study

    University essay from Jönköping University/HHJ, Avd. för rehabilitering

    Author : Henrik Ottosson; Saga Tortela; [2021]
    Keywords : Knee prosthesis; artificial limbs; health policy; process assessment; Knäprotes; proteser; vårdpolicy; processbedömning;

    Abstract : Syfte: Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka vad kliniker upplever påverkar förskrivningsprocessen av mikroprocesstyrd knäkomponent (MPK) i de olika regionerna i Sverige. Metod: Kvalitativ analys med semistrukturerade intervjuer genomfördes. READ MORE

  5. 4. Motor unit localization using high-density surface EMG

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Biomedicinsk teknik

    Author : Jonathan Hermansson Lundsberg; [2019]
    Keywords : Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Localization of muscle motor units (MU) using surface electromyography (sEMG) is of interest in areas including neurology, rehabilitation and prosthetic control. The aim of the thesis is to describe a method for MU localization using high-density sEMG (HDsEMG) and verify the method using simultaneous intramuscular EMG (iEMG) recordings. READ MORE

  6. 5. Classification of EEG data using machine learning techniques

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för reglerteknik

    Author : Martin Heyden; [2016]
    Keywords : Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Automatic interpretation of reading from the brain could allow for many interesting applications including movement of prosthetic limbs and more seamless manmachine interaction. This work studied classification of EEG signals used in a study of memory. The goal was to evaluate the performance of the state of the art algorithms. READ MORE
