  1. 1. 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

  3. 2. A feasibility study of smart insoles with graphene coated resistive textile sensors.

    University essay from Mälardalens universitet/Akademin för innovation, design och teknik

    Author : Tewolde Neud; [2023]
    Keywords : Smart Insoles; Resitive textile sensors; Pressure-sensitive insoles; Graphene coating;

    Abstract : Pressure sensitive insoles are an emerging and promising technology that has always been interesting for gait and planar pressure related applications. This technology can be especially valuable for monitoring, movement, and rehabilitation purposes where the pressure sensing insoles could be utilized to assess for abnormalities in order to treat or prevent complications.

  4. 3. 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

  5. 4. Visuomotor coordination in people with nearsightedness : A study on gaze and lower body movement

    University essay from KTH/Medicinteknik och hälsosystem

    Author : Zhaoyuan Wan; [2022]
    Keywords : Visuomotor coordination; gait analysis; gaze behaviour; nearsightedness; motion capture; eye-tracking;

    Abstract : At least 2.6 billion people all over the world suffer from nearsightedness, among whom 312 million are under 19 years old. Just like other vision problems, uncorrected nearsightedness brings inconvenience to many human daily activities including walking. READ MORE

  6. 5. EEG Signal Analysis in the Frequency Domain : An Examination of Abnormalities During the Gait Cycle

    University essay from KTH/Medicinteknik och hälsosystem
