  1. 36. Exploratory Study on Lower Limb Amputee Patients : Use of IMUs to Monitor the Gait Quality During the Rehabilitation Period

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

    Author : Aude Barthélemy; [2019]
    Keywords : Gait analysis; Lower Limb Amputee; IMU; Gait quality; Rehabilitation;

    Abstract : Specific rehabilitation is a key period for a lower-limb amputee patient. While learning how to walk with a prosthesis, the patient needs to avoid any gait compensations that may lead to future comorbidities. READ MORE

    Author : Arman Tommy Gharechaie; Omid Darab; [2019]
    Keywords : Prosthetic Socket; Transradial Socket; Additive Manufacturing; Prosthesis Cooling; Targeted Muscle Reinnervation; Thermal Management of Lower-Limb Prosthesis; 3D-Scanning; 3D-Printing; Electromyography; Underarmsprotes; Transradial Protes; Additiv Tillverkning; Proteskylning; Targeted Muscle Reinnervation; värmehanteringssytem för underarmsprotes; 3D-skanning; 3D-utskrift; elektromyografi;

    Abstract : Preface: The research about product development of a prosthetic socket was conducted by two students from Mälardalen University, department of Innovation, Design, and Technology. Background: The most recent public survey shows that an estimated 5 million people in China are amputees, out of which a significantly large portion are below-elbow amputees. READ MORE

  4. 38. Assessment of function of a 3D-printed body-powered upper limb prosthetic device

    University essay from Högskolan i Jönköping/HHJ, Avd. för rehabilitering

    Author : Adam Broman; Gustav Blom; [2019]
    Keywords : RIT-arm; hand function; Box and block test; nine-hole peg test; OPUS;

    Abstract : Purpose Conventional arm-prosthesis are expensive to make and therefore limit the availability for users on the geographical locations there the user pays for it. This study compares the hand function of a 3D-printed prosthesis with lower production cost with a traditional prosthesis. READ MORE

  5. 39. sEMG Classication with Convolutional Neural Networks: A Multi-Label Approach for Prosthetic Hand Control

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Biomedicinsk teknik

    Author : Alexander Olsson; [2018]
    Keywords : Electromyography; Machine Learning; Deep Learning; Gesture Recognition; Neural Networks; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : In myoelectric prosthesis design, there is often a trade-off between control robustness and range of executable movements. As a low movement error rate is necessary in any real application, this often results in a quite severe limitation on the dexterity of the user. READ MORE

  6. 40. Can an insole measure torsion in two different types of prosthetic feet?

    University essay from Högskolan i Jönköping/HHJ. Ortopedteknisk plattform

    Author : Bjarki Hjálmarsson; [2018]
    Keywords : Prosthetics; Vebitosolution; Kinetic; Torsion;

    Abstract :     Introduction: There have not been any prosthetic feet available that can match an intact foot in functionality. Little focus has been on research on prosthetic foot performance in frontal plane motions and while most have investigated sagittal plane motions. READ MORE
