  1. 26. Effective Optimization of Deployment for Wearable Sensors in Transfemoral Prosthesis

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för industriell teknik och management (ITM)

    Author : SURANJAN RAM OTTIKKUTTI; [2020]
    Keywords : Sensors; globaloptimization; geneticalgorithms; patternsearch; transducers; transfemoralamputation; Sensorer; global optimering; genetiska algoritmer; mönstersökning; transduktorer; transfemoral amputation;

    Abstract : Transfemoralor above-the-knee amputees face discomfort in their prothesis primarily due to irregular distribution of pressure and shear forces in the Socket-stump interface (SSI). To quantify this discomfort it is necessary to first determine the pressure distribution in the SSI using sensors. READ MORE

  3. 27. Development of software for digital manufacturing of children’s prosthetic arms for 3D-printing

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Innovation

    Author : Arantxa Juarez Perez; Lisa Phung; [2020]
    Keywords : 3D-printing; prosthetics; Grasshopper; process development; amputation; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : The conventional method to manufacture prosthetic arms is a time-\\consuming and complicated process. It is a process that has many manual steps that allow much room for human errors. With today's technology advancement it is possible to offer a more efficient technology that can replace the conventional manufacturing method of prostheses. READ MORE

  4. 28. Can electrical pulses be adapted to create life-like perceptions?

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Biomedicinsk teknik

    Author : Carolina Rudervall; [2020]
    Keywords : nerve stimulation; electrical stimulation; sensations; TENS; perceptions; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : The next big step to improve prosthetics and make the lives of people living with certain physical disabilities less restricted is to provide them with sensory feedback. Today most feedback systems used in prosthetics are mechanical but with the recent developments in sensors and the processing of their input electrical stimulation is becoming an increasingly promising way to convey touch, pressure and movement.

  5. 29. A Flexible, Low-cost Approach to Slippage Detection using Pyroelectricity

    University essay from Mälardalens högskola/Akademin för innovation, design och teknik

    Author : Anders Robin Larsson; [2020]
    Keywords : pyroelectricity; slippage detection; pvdf;

    Abstract : Myoelectric prosthesis on the market today are mostly very expensive and rarely allow the amputee any feedback, leaving the users separated from their own robotic arm. Integrating sensory systems into an arm which needs to be replaced several times during a lifetime may also not be cost efficient. READ MORE

  6. 30. A 3D-printed Fat-IBC-enabled prosthetic arm : Communication protocol and data representation

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Fasta tillståndets elektronik

    Author : Johan Engstrand; [2020]
    Keywords : prosthetic arm; bionic arm; 3D-printing; intra-body communication; ibc; fat tissue; fat-ibc; arduino; xbee; 802.15.4; cobs; cobs r; packet loss; serial transmission; armprotes; 3D-utskrift; intrakroppslig kommunikation; fettvävnad; paketförlust; seriell överföring;

    Abstract : The aim of this thesis is to optimize the design of the Fat-IBC-based communication of a novel neuroprosthetic system in which a brain-machine interface is used to control a prosthetic arm. Fat-based intra-body communication (Fat-IBC) uses the fat tissue inside the body of the bearer as a transmission medium for low-power microwaves. READ MORE
