    Abstract : Background: Studies have put spinal bifida which Myelomeningocoel (MMC) is a form at 6.1 per 10,000 births in Sweden. Other evaluations have pointed that disabilities could pose a burden on families despite the social net available within the Swedish society. READ MORE

  5. 4. Evaluation of the validity of IMU sensors measuring wrist angular velocity by comparison with an optical motion tracking system

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

    Author : Mogos Tseletu Tesfaldet; [2020]
    Keywords : Angular velocity; Optical motion tracking; IMU sensors; percentile; correlation coefficient; root mean square deviation;

    Abstract : There is a need for objective methods for wrist angular velocity measurements for accurate risk assessments because there is a high frequency of musculoskeletal disorder in workers. The goal of this project was to validate the accuracy of inertial measurement unit sensors to measure the angular velocity. READ MORE
