  1. 1. PERFORMANCE EVALUATION OF EXOSKELETONS WHILE PERFORMING DIFFERENT TASKS OF WORKERS

    University essay from Högskolan i Gävle/Elektronik

    Author : Muhammad Umer Sami; [2023]
    Keywords : Exoskeleton; Lower-back-muscle; Electromyography; SuitX; BackX;

    Abstract : Lifting weights, moving large, heavy objects, or maintaining same posture for extended periods of time exposes workers, mostly in the industrial sector, to pressure on their lower backs, which can have a significant negative impact and result in a variety of musculoskeletal problems and discomfort. The use of an exoskeleton can help to protect workers against lower back injuries of this kind. READ MORE

  3. 2. FE Modelling Of Two Femur Fixation Implants

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Mekanik och hållfasthetslära

    Author : Ali Arsiwala; Vatsal Shukla; [2021]
    Keywords : FEM; Femur; Image Segmentation; Material Modelling; Recon Implant; Antegrade Implant; Atypical Femoral Fracture; Intermedullary Nail;

    Abstract : In the pool of women over the age of 50, the likeliness of an atypical fracture increase drastically, partly due to osteoporosis. With a pre-existing implant in the femur bone, inserted due to a prior atypical fracture, treating a later femoral neck fracture is complex and risky. READ MORE

  4. 3. An Analysis of Including the Evolution Law for the Serial Element in the Musculoskeletal Modelling

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Mekanik och hållfasthetslära

    Author : Alexandra Roser; [2019]
    Keywords : biomechanical simulation; contraction dynamics; dissipation inequality; Hill-type muscle model; strain-energy function;

    Abstract : In the classic Hill model for muscle contraction, the split between the muscle and tendon is arbitrary and the problem lacks a unique solution. Instead of reformulating the problem to a differential-algebraic equation and solving for a set of initial conditions, a constant tendon length is commonly assumed in musculoskeletal simulation tools.

  5. 4. Effects of grooving slippery concrete floors on dairy cows´ claw health, behavior, fertility and survival : farmers experience and herd data

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Biosystems and Technology (from 130101)

    Author : Stefanie Macklin; [2018]
    Keywords : activity; lameness; slippery; abrasive; oestrus behavior; downer cow; mounting; concrete; mortality; muscle strain; trauma; claw wear;

    Abstract : The most common floor type in dairy barns is concrete. Concrete does unfortunately get slippery over time due to mechanical and chemical degradation. Slippery floors increase the risk of slipping and falling and influence cows’ behavior, which can affect claw health, fertility and survival. READ MORE

  6. 5. The Work Environment of Welding Operators at Volvo Group Trucks Operations : An Investigation to Reduce the Risk of Musculoskeletal Disorders Among Welders

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för ekonomi, teknik och samhälle

    Author : Linda Jonsson Roos; [2018]
    Keywords : MSDs; Work environment; Manual welders; Welding work; Physical strain; Work postures; Belastningsrelaterade skador; arbetsmiljö; manuella svetsare; svetsarbete; fysisk belastning; arbetsställningar;

    Abstract : This master thesis report presents a 20 weeks long project within Industrial design engineering at Luleå University of Technology, performed at Volvo Group Trucks Operations in Umeå. Since the company from a previous study knew that the operators on segment two work in unfavorable work postures, a further investigation of the operators’ work environment was needed. READ MORE
