  1. 1. Practical evaluation of the viability of sensorsand algorithms to detect falling and burial by avalanche

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för industriell teknik och management (ITM)

    Author : Justus Conradi; Patrik Tiainen; [2021]
    Keywords : Mechatronics; Master thesis; fall detection; burial detection; avalanche; skiing; IMU; FSR; Mekatronik; mastersavhandling; fallavkänning; begravningsavkänning; lavin; skidåkning; IMU; FSR;

    Abstract : Avalanches kill on average 250 people per year. Fall detection algorithms have been used to detect many different types of falls. In this work, a robust humanoid test rigwas designed and built to investigate the use of proven threshold based fall detection algorithms during skiing. READ MORE

  3. 2. Sensory Feedback in Prosthetic Arms

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Biomedicinsk teknik

    Author : Nibras Abir Ahad; [2019]
    Keywords : Prosthetic arms; Sensory Feedback; Arduino; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : The sense of touch in our body is something that many of us take for granted. It is after all hard to imagine how we would move and utilize our arms and legs without any sensory feedback. READ MORE

  4. 3. Wearable Sensors in Prosthetic Socket

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för industriell teknik och management (ITM)

    Author : Ahmed Moustafa; Johan Danmo; [2019]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : There is a great interest among researchers and clinicians to monitor pressure distributions within prosthetic sockets. Such an application may allow the assessment of the user's comfort and identify problematic areas inside the socket. The sensor that is used within such an application is the Force Sensitive Resistor (FSR). READ MORE

  5. 4. Force-Sensing Rehabilitation Glove : A tool to facilitate rehabilitation of reduced hand strength

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Author : Michael Henriksson; Michael Fransson; [2018]
    Keywords : Embedded systems; Medical Technology; Pressure sensors; FSR sensors; ; Inbyggda system; Medicinsk teknik; Trycksensorer; FSR sensorer; ;

    Abstract : This thesis examines how the pressure sensors can be used in rehabilitation for patients with weakened hand strength. The rehabilitation process usually contains everyday tasks to evaluate the patient’s capability and the tools for this part of the rehabilitation process are few. READ MORE

  6. 5. Development of a sensory feedback system in hand prostheses.

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Biomedicinsk teknik
