  1. 1. Development of a Downscaled Hovering Device for a Hospital Bed to Reduce Rolling Resistance

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

    Author : Kristian Namrood; [2021]
    Keywords : Fall-related injuries; shock absorbing floor; rolling resistance; hospital bed; hovering device;

    Abstract : Fall-related injuries are common problems in elderly care in particular. These can cause brain damage and hip fractures, which in many cases can be serious. To reduce or mitigate the damage, various safety measures have been developed. One of them concerns a change in the surroundings, more specifically, the floor. READ MORE

  3. 2. Shock Absorbing Flooring For Elderly Homes : Study of Shock Absorption of Head Impacts and Rolling Resistance

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

    Author : Brynjar Hilmarsson; [2018]
    Keywords : Shockabsorbing Flooring; Rolling Resistance; Fall Injuries; Head Impact Studies;

    Abstract : In Sweden fall-related injuries among the elderly lead to over a thousand deaths and close to 300.0000 hospital visitations annually. Fall related injuries can in many cases lead to serious head injuries along with other fractures. The elderly are more prone to fall and sustain an injury because of conditions such as osteoporosis and weak muscles. READ MORE

  4. 3. Kinematic analysis of traumatic brain injuries in boxing using finite element simulations

    University essay from KTH/Medicinsk teknik

    Author : Xuelong Fan; [2016]
    Keywords : Finite element simulation; kinematic analysis; human arm modeling; boxing;

    Abstract : The purpose of the thesis was to analyze and evaluate the head injuries due to a striking in a boxing match by LS-DYNA. A simplified arm model was built up and was equipped with three segments which were linked with two spherical joints. READ MORE

  5. 4. Video analysis of head kinematics in boxing matches using OpenCV library under Macintosh platform : How can the Posit algorithm be used in head kinematic analysis?

    University essay from Institutionen för informationsteknologi

    Author : Liyi Zhao; [2012]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The division of Neuronic Engineering at KTH focuses the research on the head and neck biomechanics. Finite Element (FE) models of the human neck and head have been developed to study the neck and head kinematics as well as injurious loadings of various kinds. The overall objective is to improve the injury prediction through accident reconstruction. READ MORE

  6. 5. Segmentation of the Brain from MR Images

    University essay from Medicinsk informatik; Tekniska högskolan

    Author : Jenny Caesar; [2005]
    Keywords : MR images; automatic segmentation; voxel classification; intensity inhomogeneities; the expectation-maximization algorithm;

    Abstract : KTH, Division of Neuronic Engineering, have a finite element model of the head. However, this model does not contain detailed modeling of the brain. This thesis project consists of finding a method to extract brain tissues from T1-weighted MR images of the head. The method should be automatic to be suitable for patient individual modeling.
