  1. 21. Development of a Novel Hand Exoskeleton for the Rehabilitation and Assistance of Upper Motor Neuron Syndrome Patients

    University essay from KTH/Maskinkonstruktion (Inst.)

    Author : Ole Luhmann; [2020]
    Keywords : Grasping Augmentation; Hand Exoskeleton; Product Development; Rehabilitation; Upper Motor Neuron Syndrome; Grepp augmentation; exoskelett; produktutveckling; rehabilitering; övre motorneurosjukdom;

    Abstract : Hand exoskeletons are wearable robotic devices which are used to compensate for impaired handmovements in patientswith impaired upper-limbs. These devices can either help patients to grasp objects for a therapeutic purpose or to performactivities of daily living. READ MORE

  3. 22. 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

  4. 23. Simulation Of Lower Extremity Muscle Activation During Obstacle Clearance

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

    Author : Ganesh Balaji Radhakrishnan; [2019]
    Keywords : lower limb; muscle activation; exoskeleton; kinematics;

    Abstract : Exoskeletons can be helpful to patients who suffer from muscular dysfunctions. Recent studies focus on exoskeletons which can perform complex human movements. Further analysis is needed in the area of unusual movements like obstacle clearance to design an assistive device which can deliver effective aid to the intended patients in need. READ MORE

  5. 24. Realistic Computer aided design : model of an exoskeleton

    University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för ingenjörsvetenskap

    Author : David Hoyos Rodriguez; [2019]
    Keywords : EKSOVest; PTC CREO; Exoskeleton; Parametrization; High-pressure spring; Musculoskeletal disorder;

    Abstract : The musculoskeletal disorders have significant health care, social and economic consequences in the factories nowadays. One of the most promising possible solutions is the use of exoskeletons in the workstations. READ MORE

  6. 25. Evaluation of the Use of Exoskeletons in the Range of Motion of Workers

    University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för ingenjörsvetenskap

    Author : Estela Perez Luque; [2019]
    Keywords : Exoskeletons; range of motion; musculoskeletal disorders; ergonomics; overhead operations;

    Abstract : Although the automation level is high within the automotive industry, there is still a high number of manual labour tasks such as in assembly areas. Taking ergonomics programs into account is essential to improve the workstation designs and conditions, which should result in increases in worker output and reductions of discomfort. READ MORE
