  1. 31. Prescribing Motion by Mirroring : Using Kinematics from an Individual's Sound Leg in Order to Prescribe the Motion of an Aid

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

    Author : Marcus Jonsson; [2019]
    Keywords : Biomechanics; Mechanics; Mirroring; Prosthesis; Biomekanik; Mekanik; Protes; Spegling;

    Abstract : Prostheses available today are either passive or active. Active prostheses canapply external energy to the joints, while passive cannot. A well functionalprosthesis that is adapted to the wearer can improve the locomotion and alsodecrease the metabolic cost. READ MORE

  4. 33. Evaluation of the role of ImplantMovement Analysis in diagnosing asepticloosening of total hip arthroplasty

    University essay from Örebro universitet/Institutionen för medicinska vetenskaper

    Author : Ellen Harbom; [2019]
    Keywords : Hip prosthesis; Implant Movement Analysis; Aseptic loosening Computed Tomography; Radiography.;

    Abstract : Introduction: Aseptic loosening is the most common indication for revision surgery of hipimplants. However, sometimes diagnosis from planar radiography is uncertain, makingdecision regarding revision surgery problematic. Implant Movement Analysis (IMA) is anewly introduced method of analysing uncertain aseptic loosening of hip prostheses. READ MORE

  5. 34. Evaluation of cognitive workload using EEG : Investigation of how sensory feedback improves function of osseo-neuromuscular upper limb prostheses

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Institutionen för medicinsk teknik

    Author : Linn Berntsson; [2019]
    Keywords : EEG; ERP; spectral analysis; cognitive workload; prosthesis;

    Abstract : The e-OPRA Implant System (Integrum AB, Sweden) is a system which employs permanently accessible implantable neuromuscular electrodes in combination with osseointegrated attachment of the prosthesis to the skeleton, in order to create a more natural control of advanced robotic upper-limb prostheses. The system enables the possibility of sensory feedback, via a cuff electrode to the ulnar nerve which allows for direct neurostimulation of the nerve. READ MORE
