  1. 1. Wrist Angle Estimation Using Two Wearable Inertial Measurement Units

    University essay from KTH/Medicinteknik och hälsosystem

    Author : Arvin Razavi; [2023]
    Keywords : IMU wrist angle estimation; Wrist absolute angle; IMU-based human motion capture; orientation filter; Complementary filter; Kalman filter; IMU handledsvinkeluppskattning; handleds absolutvinkel; IMU-baserad mänsklig rörelsefångst; orienteringsfilter; komplementfilter; Kalman-filter;

    Abstract : Hand-intensive work is closely related to the prevalence of upper body and hand/wrist work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs) in office work, manufacturing, service industries, as well as the healthcare industry. Some risk factors include vibrations, forceful exertions, heavy manual handling, repetitive motions, and prolonged nonneutral wrist postures. READ MORE

  3. 2. Does attentional focus influence performance and motor control on a gross motor task performed with the legs among healthy individuals and individuals with anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction? : A within subject design pilot study

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för samhällsmedicin och rehabilitering

    Author : Leon Haegerström; Jens Jakobsson; [2023]
    Keywords : Attentional focus; External focus; Internal focus; Motor contor; Motor performance; Anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction;

    Abstract : Background: Evidence indicates that an external focus (EF) of attention on the intended effect of one’s movement results in better motor performance and motor control than an internal focus (IF) on one’s own body. Despite this, an IF is predominantly encouraged through instructions and feedback provided by clinicians during sports and rehabilitation from injuries such as anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury.

  4. 3. Real-time adaptation of robotic knees using reinforcement control

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

    Author : Leifur Daníel Sigurðarson; [2023]
    Keywords : Machine learning; deep reinforcement learning; transfer learning; medical device; prosthetic; prosthesis; controls; human-in-the-loop; Maskininlärning; djup förstärkningsinlärning; överföringsinlärning; medicinsk utrustning; protes; kontroller; människa-i-loopen;

    Abstract : Microprocessor-controlled knees (MPK’s) allow amputees to walk with increasing ease and safety as technology progresses. As an amputee is fitted with a new MPK, the knee’s internal parameters are tuned to the user’s preferred settings in a controlled environment. READ MORE

  5. 4. Validation of a new iPhone application for measurements of wrist velocity during actual work tasks

    University essay from KTH/Ergonomi

    Author : Mohammed Abderhman Abaid; [2023]
    Keywords : Angular velocity; goniometer; inertial Measurement Unit IMU ; “ErgoHandMeter”; percentile; correlation iii; Vinkelhastighet; goniometer; IMU ; ErgoHandMeter ; percentil; korrelation;

    Abstract : The breakthrough in mobile technology and the development of smartphones, supplied with sensing devices such as Inertial Measurement Units (IMUs), has made it possible to obtain accurate and reliable data on the angular velocity for different objects. The available technical sensors for wrist movements, such as electrogoniometers, are costly, time-consuming, and need a particular computer program to be analyzed. READ MORE

  6. 5. Feasibility of Mobile Phone-Based 2D Human Pose Estimation for Golf : An analysis of the golf swing focusing on selected joint angles

    University essay from KTH/Medicinteknik och hälsosystem

    Author : Elisa Perini; [2023]
    Keywords : Golf; Human Pose Estimation; Sports Analytics; Computer Vision; Golf; Mänsklig Poseuppskattning; Sportanalys; Datorseende;

    Abstract : Golf is a sport where the correct technical execution is important for performance and injury prevention. The existing feedback systems are often cumbersome and not readily available to recreational players. To address this issue, this thesis explores the potential of using 2D Human Pose Estimation as a mobile phone-based swing analysis tool. READ MORE
