  3. 2. Biomechanical investigation of the efficacy and perceived performance of a knee brace

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Biomedicinsk teknik

    Author : Alice Garnheim; Alvina Vernersson; [2023]
    Keywords : Biomechanical investigation; knee brace; osteoarthritis; design; OA; healthy subjects; gait analysis; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : The most prevalent joint disease in adults is osteoarthritis. The knee joint is the joint which is the most affected by osteoarthritis, with mechanical overloading being one of the causes. While no cure exists for osteoarthritis, many different treatment options are available. One alternative is to wear a knee brace on the affected leg. READ MORE

  4. 3. 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

  5. 4. Gait screening using a mobile phone application : horse asymmetry levels and usability of a mobile phone application for gait analysis, during a long format FEI eventing competition

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Anatomy, Physiology and Biochemistry

    Author : Jonna Martinsson; [2022]
    Keywords : Gait analysis; motion asymmetry; performing horses; FEI eventing; Artificial intelligence; computer vision; kinematics; gait screening; mobile phone application;

    Abstract : Orthopaedic disorders are the most common reason for unplanned rest in the performing horse population. Locomotor disorders which slowly build up to clear lameness might be avoidable with easy access objective motion measurement devices. READ MORE

  6. 5. Development of a subject specific 3D knee finite element model to estimate the effect of weight loss on cartilage biomechanics

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Biomedicinsk teknik

    Author : Julius Dahlgren; [2022]
    Keywords : biomechanics; knee; cartilage; subject-specific; finite element; FE; FEM; weight loss; osteoarthritis; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Osteoarthritis (OA) is a common musculoskeletal disorder that degrades articular cartilage and is a leading cause of disability worldwide. Overweight has been considered a major risk factor of knee OA, and it is known that weight loss may reduce the risk of knee OA. READ MORE
