1. Elastic Net Regression for Prosthesis Control in Short Residual Limb Amputees: Performance and Generalizability
University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Biomedicinsk teknikAbstract : 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. An alignment tool for prosthetic components : A conceptual development
University essay from Jönköping University/HHJ, Avd. för rehabiliteringAbstract : Prosthetic alignment is the principle of the position and orientation and of the components in a lower limb prosthesis to achieve desirable biomechanical characteristics. Poor alignment of lower limb prostheses is related to decreased balance, knee and hip arthritis, and higher energy expenditure for the user. READ MORE
