  1. 1. The data-driven CyberSpine : Modeling the Epidural Electrical Stimulation using Finite Element Model and Artificial Neural Networks

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

    Author : Yu Qin; [2023]
    Keywords : Spinal Cord Injury; Epidural Electrical Stimulation; Computational Neuroscience; Finite Element Model; Artificial Intelligence; Optimal Transport; EMG; Muscle Activation; Ryggmärgsskada; Epidural Elektrisk Stimulering; Beräkningsneurovetenskap; Finita Elementmodellen; Artificiell Intelligens; Optimal Transport; EMG; Muskelaktivering;

    Abstract : Every year, 250,000 people worldwide suffer a spinal cord injury (SCI) that leaves them with chronic paraplegia - permanent loss of ability to move their legs. SCI interrupts axons passing along the spinal cord, thereby isolating motor neurons from brain inputs. To date, there are no effective treatments that can reconnect these interrupted axons.

  3. 2. The effects of IL-4 and IL-13 on human airway smooth muscle

    University essay from KTH/Proteinvetenskap

    Author : Sania Merchant; [2022]
    Keywords : Asthma; Airway hyperresponsiveness; Airway smooth muscle cells; Calcium flux; Dupilumab; Astma; luftvägshyperreaktivitet; glatta muskelceller från luftvägarna; kalciumflöde; dupilumab;

    Abstract : Typ 2-cytokiner, IL-4 och IL-13 är kända för att spela en viktig roll i airway hyperresponsiveness (AHR) eller luftvägshyperreaktivitet, där de glatta muskelcellerna (ASM) drar ihop sig för lätt och för mycket som svar på direkta eller indirekta stimuli. Detta gör AHR till en avgörande egenskap hos astmatiker. READ MORE

  4. 3. Measurements of biomechanical workload onthe forearm during padel : a pilot study

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Avdelningen för idrottsmedicin

    Author : Rebecka Forsström; [2022]
    Keywords : electromyography; angular velocity; co-contraction; sport biomechanics; wearable technology;

    Abstract : Padel involves repetitive and high-velocity upper limb movements, which can be associated with overuse injuries. There is a lack of evidence regarding injury prevention in padel and a necessity of developing and evaluating ways to monitor workload. READ MORE

  5. 4. The impact of ion drift in a Transcutaneous Electrical Stimulation model

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Biomedicinsk teknik

    Author : Oscar Tuvesson; Erik Blåe; [2022]
    Keywords : TES; neuron activation; ion drift; conductivity; COMSOL; FEM; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : A major area of research in neuroscience is the effect of stimulating nerves into activation from extrinsic stimuli. This is commonly done with electric currents and external skin-contact electrodes. READ MORE

  6. 5. High density EMG based estimation of lower limb muscle characteristics using feature extraction

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

    Author : Balázs Szabó; [2021]
    Keywords : HD-EMG; feature extraction; lower limb; muscle characteristics;

    Abstract : Electromyography (EMG) is a common tool in electrical muscle activity measurement and can be used in multiple areas of clinical and biomedical applications, mainly in identifying neuromuscular diseases, analyzing movement or in human machine interfaces. Traditionally a pair of electrodes were used to measure the signals, but in recent years the use of high density surface EMG (HD-sEMG) gained more popularity as it can sample myoelectric activities from multiple electrodes in an array on a single muscle and provide more information.
