  1. 1. Improving Objectivity and Reliability of Observational Risk Assessment Tools by using Technical Instruments

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

    Author : Cephas Charsmar-Etor; [2023]
    Keywords : Direct measurement instruments; Observational instruments; Body segments and postures; Inertial measurement unit; Wearable sensors;

    Abstract : Ergonomic assessments to determine risks of work-related musculoskeletal disorders as well as to compare designs of work-tasks and workstations, are imperative for high sustainability and productivity in any given industry. Hence, assessment tools that can objectively and reliably capture postures, joint angles and muscle activities play very important role in properly determining risks relating to work and various tasks.

  3. 2. Assessment of Lower Limb Muscle Strength: Feasibility and Implementation on Exxentric’s SingleExx Machines

    University essay from KTH/Medicinteknik och hälsosystem

    Author : Maximilian Geisler; [2023]
    Keywords : Force measurement; Lower limb strength; Symmetry assessment; Flywheel-based leg extension machine; Prototype development; Isokinetic dynamometer; Kraftmätning; Styrka i nedre extremiteterna; Symmetribedömning; Flywheel- baserad benförlängningsmaskin; Prototyputveckling; Isokinetisk dynamometer;

    Abstract : Measuring lower limb strength and symmetry is a common practice in elite sports to determine the return to sports point in time during rehabilitation, and this information could be useful for amateur athletes too. However, the devices used for this are highly sophisticated and hardly accessible. READ MORE

  4. 3. EVALUATION OF THE USE OF EXOSKELETONS WHILE PERFORMING DIFFERENT TASKS OF INDUSTRIAL WORKERS

    University essay from Högskolan i Gävle/Avdelningen för elektroteknik, matematik och naturvetenskap

    Author : Abida Sultana Urmi; [2022]
    Keywords : Exoskeleton; Sensor; EMG; Efficiency; Statistic;

    Abstract : Robotic exoskeleton technologies are one of the most active fields of robotics in recent years. Exoskeleton systems can give essential support for limb motions with enhanced strength and endurance, and they have a wide variety of therapeutic and supportive utility in life. READ MORE

  5. 4. Dataset based on volunteer campaign to optimize novel sensor for muscle quality

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Fasta tillståndets elektronik

    Author : Sophia Holmqvist; [2022]
    Keywords : sarcopenia; microwaves; medical imaging;

    Abstract : This project had its primary focus on running a campaign to recruit healthy volunteers for a test study involving the utilization of a microwave sensor and ultrasound measurements. The key system used was the Muscle Analyzer System (MAS), which consisted of the Bandstop Filter Sensor (BFS), a microwave sensor transmitting microwaves into the selected medium through transmission and a FieldFox Vector Network Analyzer which was used to transmit these microwaves.

  6. 5. A comparative study to explore the advantages of passive exoskeletons by monitoring the muscle activity of workers

    University essay from Högskolan i Gävle/Avdelningen för elektroteknik, matematik och naturvetenskap

    Author : Md Arifur Rahman; [2021]
    Keywords : Exoskeletons; Shimmer Sensor; EMG Signal;

    Abstract : Manufacturing and construction workers undertake physically strenuous activities increasing the risk of health problems, disability, and sick leave, leading to lower job attractiveness and job candidate scarcity. In the EU, up to 44 million workers are affected by workplace-related musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs), representing a total annual cost of more than €240 billion. READ MORE
