1. Implementations and evaluation of machine learning algorithms on a microcontroller unit for myoelectric prosthesis control
University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Biomedicinsk teknikAbstract : Using a microcontroller unit to implement different machine learning algorithms for myoelectric prosthesis control is currently feasible. Still there are hardware and timing constraints that need to be accounted for. READ MORE

2. Real-time adaptation of robotic knees using reinforcement control
University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)Abstract : Microprocessor-controlled knees (MPK’s) allow amputees to walk with increasing ease and safety as technology progresses. As an amputee is fitted with a new MPK, the knee’s internal parameters are tuned to the user’s preferred settings in a controlled environment. READ MORE

3. Real-time Control Modelling and Output Signal Data Analysis Based on the Stewart Platform
University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)Abstract : Around 40 million people around the world have amputated parts of their bodies. Prostheses are widely used to support their daily behavior. However, about 35% of amputees refuse to use the prostheses due to comfort problems. SocketSense is an EU research project that aims to improve the situation. READ MORE

4. An alignment tool for prosthetic components : A conceptual development
University essay from Jönköping University/HHJ, Avd. för rehabiliteringAbstract : Prosthetic alignment is the principle of the position and orientation and of the components in a lower limb prosthesis to achieve desirable biomechanical characteristics. Poor alignment of lower limb prostheses is related to decreased balance, knee and hip arthritis, and higher energy expenditure for the user. READ MORE

5. Development of a subject specific 3D knee finite element model to estimate the effect of weight loss on cartilage biomechanics
University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Biomedicinsk teknikAbstract : Osteoarthritis (OA) is a common musculoskeletal disorder that degrades articular cartilage and is a leading cause of disability worldwide. Overweight has been considered a major risk factor of knee OA, and it is known that weight loss may reduce the risk of knee OA. READ MORE
