  1. 1. Design and implementation of an energy harvesting system in a prosthetic limb

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Author : Ódinn K. Rúnarsson; [2023]
    Keywords : Energy harvesting; Prosthetic limbs; Supercapacitors; Printed circuit boards; 3D printing; Energiinsamling; Lemmproteser; Superkondensatorer; Tryckta kretskort; 3D Utskrivning; Orkuöflun; Gervilimir; Ofurþéttar; Prentaðar rafrásir; Þrívíddarprentun;

    Abstract : Energy Harvesting, also known as power harvesting or ambient power, is the process of obtaining small amounts of power from secondary sources, such as vibrations, light, temperature variations and even radio-frequency emissions. These systems have been uncommon in personal and wearable electronics in the past, however they are slowly gaining traction. READ MORE

  3. 2. Real-time adaptation of robotic knees using reinforcement control

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Author : Leifur Daníel Sigurðarson; [2023]
    Keywords : Machine learning; deep reinforcement learning; transfer learning; medical device; prosthetic; prosthesis; controls; human-in-the-loop; Maskininlärning; djup förstärkningsinlärning; överföringsinlärning; medicinsk utrustning; protes; kontroller; människa-i-loopen;

    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

  4. 3. Elastic Net Regression for Prosthesis Control in Short Residual Limb Amputees: Performance and Generalizability

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Biomedicinsk teknik

    Author : Oskar Berg; [2023]
    Keywords : Neuroengineering; Statistics; Biomedical Signal Processing; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : This Master's thesis in Biomedical Engineering investigates the performance and generalizability of linear regression models in context of prosthesis control for short residual limb amputees. This thesis uses intramuscular electromyography data, and a regression and emplys a regression technique called Elastic Net Regression - a technique that combines L1 and L2-regularization - to predict 1-DOF isometric forces outputs from fingers and the wrist.

  5. 4. Real-time Control Modelling and Output Signal Data Analysis Based on the Stewart Platform

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Author : Junhao Cui; [2022]
    Keywords : Prosthesis; Stewart platform; Simulation; PID control; Kalman filter; Protes; Stewart-plattform; Simulering; PID-kontroll; Kalman-filter;

    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

  6. 5. Comparison of non-invasive neuromodulation and plasticity guided treatment methods in patients experiencing phantom limb pain: a systematic review

    University essay from Jönköping University/HHJ. Ortopedteknisk plattform

    Author : Lisa Kindbom Uddh; Ida Andreasson; [2022]
    Keywords : Review; pain scales; amputation; pain management; post amputation pain; Litteraturstudie; smärtskalor; amputation; smärthantering; smärta efter amputation;

    Abstract : Syfte: Denna studie syftar till att undersöka vilken behandlingsmetod, plasticitetsgrundad eller icke-invasiv neuromodulering som presenterar bäst resultat av smärtlindring hos personer som upplever fantomsmärtor efter en amputation. Metod: Litteraturundersökningen utfördes i 3 databaser; MEDLINE, CINAHL och PsycINFO. READ MORE
