  1. 1. Assessment of hip deformities during childhood: a combined approach of Machine Learning and Finite Element Analysis

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Biomedicinsk teknik

    Author : Klara Eriksson; Jonna Fahrman; [2022]
    Keywords : Biomechanics; Hip joint; Cartilage; Osteoarthritis; Machine learning; Finite element analysis; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Osteoarthritis is a degenerative disease that will cause pain and stiffness in the joint if not treated. One cause of early osteoarthritis in the hip joint is pediatric hip deformities. Hip deformities can occur in different stages of childhood and cause the bones to be misshapen or the hip joint to be dislocated. READ MORE

  3. 2. Exo-Controlled Biomimetic Robotic Hand : A design solution for control of a robotic hand with an exoskeleton

    University essay from KTH/Mekatronik

    Author : Philip Linder-Aronson; Simon Stenberg; [2021]
    Keywords : Mechatronics; Biomechanical hand; Robotic hand; Exoskeleton; Arduino Servo motor; Potentiometer; Mekatronik; Servomotor; Mekanisk hand; Robothand; Arduino; Potentiometer; Exoskelett;

    Abstract : Robotic arms and hands come in all shapes and sizes, they can be general purpose or task-specific. They can be pre-programed by a computer or controlled by a human operator. There is a certain subsection of robotic hands which try to mimic the shape, movement and function of the human hand, these are sometimes known as biomimetic robotics. READ MORE

  4. 3. Development of patient-specific fetal head phantom for experimental evaluation of vacuum assisted delivery

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

    Author : Maria Pop; [2021]
    Keywords : Vacuum assisted delivery; Vacuum extractor device; Traction force; Vacuum pressure; Fetal head phantom; Ultrasound imaging; Sonomicrometry;

    Abstract : Vacuum assisted delivery (VAD) is a common procedure used in the final stage of labor in the situation of a difficult natural delivery. Since the only biomechanical studies concerning the clinical safe traction force were conducted during 70s using simplified models to mimic the fetal head, concerns remain regarding the side effects of this medical intervention when applying high levels of traction forces.

  5. 4. Natureculture Origined : An intersectional feminist study of notions of the natural, the healthy and the Palaeolithic past in the popular science imaginary of biomechanics

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Tema Genus; Linköpings universitet/Filosofiska fakulteten

    Author : Åsa Johansson; [2015]
    Keywords : gender; class; corporeality; intersectionality; feminist cultural studies; biomechanics; popular science;

    Abstract : Situated in a time of advanced technoscience and new materialist feminist humanities/social sciences, this thesis explores how popular science renditions of biomechanics contribute to transforming imaginaries about “the natural” and “healthy”. It does so by zooming in on biomechanical scientist Katy Bowman’s pervasive and life-style commitment-requiring teaching. READ MORE

  6. 5. Evaluating the accuracy of motion tracking algorithms for determining the position of finger tips

    University essay from Institutionen för informationsteknologi

    Author : Malin Nilsson; [2012]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Motion capture, or motion tracking, describes the process of recording movement of objects. Motion capture for biomechanical applications often involves sensors or markers that are placed on the skin of body segments. The position of these markers is measured as the subject moves. READ MORE
