  1. 1. Elastic Net Regression for Prosthesis Control in Short Residual Limb Amputees: Performance and Generalizability

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Biomedicinsk teknik

    Author : Oskar Berg; [2023]
    Keywords : Neuroengineering; Statistics; Biomedical Signal Processing; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : This Master's thesis in Biomedical Engineering investigates the performance and generalizability of linear regression models in context of prosthesis control for short residual limb amputees. This thesis uses intramuscular electromyography data, and a regression and emplys a regression technique called Elastic Net Regression - a technique that combines L1 and L2-regularization - to predict 1-DOF isometric forces outputs from fingers and the wrist.

  2. 2. Exploratory Study on Lower Limb Amputee Patients : Use of IMUs to Monitor the Gait Quality During the Rehabilitation Period

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

    Author : Aude Barthélemy; [2019]
    Keywords : Gait analysis; Lower Limb Amputee; IMU; Gait quality; Rehabilitation;

    Abstract : Specific rehabilitation is a key period for a lower-limb amputee patient. While learning how to walk with a prosthesis, the patient needs to avoid any gait compensations that may lead to future comorbidities. READ MORE

  3. 3. Printing Prosthetics : Designing an additive manufactured arm for developing countries

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för ekonomi, teknik och samhälle

    Author : Mikael Carlström; Hampus Wargsjö; [2017]
    Keywords : 3D printing; Additive manufacturing; Prostheses; Prosthetic arm; Developing countries; Nairobi; Kenya; Industrial design engineering; 3D Printing; Additiv Tillverkning; Proteser; Armprotes; Utvecklingsländer; Nairobi; Kenya; Teknisk design;

    Abstract : De traditionella armproteser som tillverkas i utvecklingsländer står inför stora problem i att leverera patienter med lämpliga hjälpmedel. Processen är inte bara tidskrävande eftersom varje enhet måste anpassas för varje enskild användare men vissa komponenter kan inte produceras lokalt vilket driver upp priset ytterligare. READ MORE
