  1. 1. Strength testing based automatic scaling of muscle-tendon parameters for musculoskeletal models : An automated method of scaling subject specific muscle-tendon parameters of thigh muscles

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Mekanik och hållfasthetslära

    Author : Jan Czarnowski; [2022]
    Keywords : Simulation; Anybody Modelling Software; Skiing;

    Abstract : A method of estimating subject specific muscle parameters of musculoskeletal models of elite athletes (skiers) was sought. Subject specific models are necessary due to large differences in general anatomy and physical performance of elite athletes relative the general population. READ MORE

  3. 2. Test-retest reliability of a newly developed instrument for measurement of force production and speed in closed kinetic chain for upper extremity : Measurements on a group of athletes with cerebral palsy and a reference group

    University essay from Gymnastik- och idrottshögskolan, GIH/Institutionen för fysisk aktivitet och hälsa

    Author : Frida Lidén; [2022]
    Keywords : Para sport; cerebral palsy; coordination; closed kinetic chain; upper extremity;

    Abstract : Aim and research questions: The aim of this master thesis was to test for test-retest reliability for a newly developed force instrument (FI) and determine if a combined effect of trial, speed and resistance exist on the variable fraction effective force (FEF) for a group of athletes with cerebral palsy (CP-group) and a reference group (AB-group).  1.

  4. 3. Design of an active orthosis for improved rehabilitation of stroke patients

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Biomedicinsk teknik

    Author : Ragnhild Vestergren Kilborn; Rebecka Lövgren; [2022]
    Keywords : active orthosis; stroke rehabilitation; exoskeleton; EMG; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : To regain mobility in an affected limb after a stroke it is important to be consistent with rehabilitation exercises. The purpose of this project was to create an active orthosis for the elbow joint. READ MORE

  5. 4. A Methodology to Quantify Alignment of Transtibial and Transfemoral Prostheses using Optical Motion Capture System

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för kemi, bioteknologi och hälsa (CBH)

    Author : Þórey Ásgeirsdóttir; [2022]
    Keywords : Alignment; Lower limb amputees; Prosthesis; Motion Capture;

    Abstract : Background: Lower limb amputees face many challenges, and most of them prefer to use prosthetics for daily tasks and activities. The prosthesis is usually a combination of connected prosthetic components, and their spatial orientation is called the prosthetic alignment. READ MORE

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för kemi, bioteknologi och hälsa (CBH)

    Author : Malena Grannerud; [2022]
    Keywords : Isokinetic dynamometer; shoulder abduction; shoulder flexion; rotator cuff; torque; load; force; repeatability; reproducibility; reliability; agreement; ICC; intraclass correlation coefficient; Bland Altman; Isokinetisk dynamometer; axelabduktion; axelflexion; rotatorcuff; vridmoment; last; kraft; repeterbarhet; reproducerbarhet; tillförlitlighet; överensstämmelse; ICC; intraklass korrelationskoefficient; Bland Altman;

    Abstract : The evaluation of shoulder abduction and flexion strength is important in the rehabilitation after rotator cuff tear. The purpose of this work is to assess the intra and inter-rater reliability of measurement data from an isokinetic dynamometer used to evaluate shoulder abduction and flexion strength, with the aim to identify sources of measurement errors and suggest improvements.
