  1. 11. Wireless electromyogram system

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

    Author : Andreas Dunca; Hoang Anh Quoc Nguyen; [2020]
    Keywords : Venous thromboembolism; VTE prevention; Electromyogram; Embedded system; Muscle sensor; Venös tromboemboli; Förebygga VTE; Elektromyografi; Inbyggda system; Muskelsensor;

    Abstract : Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is one of the most common cardiovascular diseases. KTH and its academic and industrial partners intend to develop a system to combat VTE by forcing movements of inactive muscles. An important part of this system is a unit that can sense muscular activity over time. READ MORE

  3. 12. Simulation of Lower Limb Muscle Activity During Inclined Slope Walking

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

    Author : Ganesh Prasanth Arumuganainar; [2019]
    Keywords : Simulation OpenSim VICON Motion Capture Lower Limb Muscle Activity Analysis Inclined Slope Ramp Gait Analysis Biomechanics Considerations Robotic Exoskeleton Design;

    Abstract : Robotic exoskeletons are designed to assist patients with motor dysfunctions. Recent researches focus on extending the robotic assistance to patient activities other than ground level walking. This study aims to analyse the lower limb muscle activity during inclined slope walking contrasting with that of ground level walking. READ MORE

  4. 13. ACL reconstruction with a hamstring graft, can a forced foot dorsiflexion alter isokinetic knee flexion performance - a pilot study

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Hälsa och rehabilitering

    Author : Kristoffer Lindbäck; [2019]
    Keywords : Biodex; EMG; Gastrocnemius; Knee flexion; Muscle activation;

    Abstract : Abstract Introduction: The prevalence of anterior cruciate ligament tear is around 7000 every year within the swedish population and 95% of reconstructive surgery was with a hamstring tendon graft. Six months post surgery a 13% decrease in knee flexion strength compared to non injured side. READ MORE

  5. 14. Simulation Of Lower Extremity Muscle Activation During Obstacle Clearance

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

    Author : Ganesh Balaji Radhakrishnan; [2019]
    Keywords : lower limb; muscle activation; exoskeleton; kinematics;

    Abstract : Exoskeletons can be helpful to patients who suffer from muscular dysfunctions. Recent studies focus on exoskeletons which can perform complex human movements. Further analysis is needed in the area of unusual movements like obstacle clearance to design an assistive device which can deliver effective aid to the intended patients in need. READ MORE

  6. 15. MED13 regulates substrate utilization and bioenergetics in human skeletal muscle

    University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för biovetenskap

    Author : Emily Angela Tiainen Losno; [2018]
    Keywords : MED13;

    Abstract : The Mediator Complex has an essential function in regulating the transcription of several genes, working as a scaffold between transcription factors and polymerase II. It is composed of 26 subunits, with the kinase, or CDK subunit, being one of the most important for the mediator complex activation. READ MORE
