  1. 1. Simulating Professional Dance with a Biomechanical Model of a Human Body

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Avdelningen för medicinsk teknik

    Author : Sophia Cedermalm; Erik Sars; [2022]
    Keywords : Digital twin; Motion capture; OpenSim; Biomechanical modelling; Visualisation;

    Abstract : A digital twin project is launched by the Integrative Systems Biology (ISB) research team and led by Gunnar Cedersund. The digital twin project is based on biological models of physiological processes, that can interact and be tailored for a specific person. However, the digital twin can currently not analyse movements of a human body. READ MORE

  3. 2. Applicability of Graph Neural Networks to predict Human variability in Human Body Model Rib Strain Predictions

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Statistik, AI och data science

    Author : Julia Solhed; [2022]
    Keywords : Graph Neural Networks; Human Body Model; SAFER HBM; HBM simulation; Rib strain predictions; Rib fracture risk predictions;

    Abstract : Finite element human body models have in recent years become widely used in the area of vehicle safety evaluations. They make it possible to predict injury risk in specific areas, down to the organ level in the human body. An existing human body model, SAFER HBM includes a rib cage representing an average male.

  4. 3. Simulation of Lower Limb Muscle Activity During Inclined Slope Walking

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

    Author : Ganesh Prasanth Arumuganainar; [2019]
    Keywords : Simulation OpenSim VICON Motion Capture Lower Limb Muscle Activity Analysis Inclined Slope Ramp Gait Analysis Biomechanics Considerations Robotic Exoskeleton Design;

    Abstract : Robotic exoskeletons are designed to assist patients with motor dysfunctions. Recent researches focus on extending the robotic assistance to patient activities other than ground level walking. This study aims to analyse the lower limb muscle activity during inclined slope walking contrasting with that of ground level walking. READ MORE

  5. 4. 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.

  6. 5. Concussions in Ice Hockey : Accident Reconstructions Using Finite Element Simulations

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

    Author : Ekant Mishra; [2019]
    Keywords : Concussion; Ice hockey helmet; Accident reconstruction; FE; HBMs;

    Abstract : Ice hockey, one of the most popular sports in the world, is a contact sport that is always associated with huge risks of traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) resulting from high-velocity impacts. Although technology in player protection equipment has advanced over the years, mild traumatic brain injuries (mTBIs) like concussion remain prevalent. READ MORE
