    University essay from KTH/Medicinteknik och hälsosystem

    Author : Kalle Torniainen; [2022]
    Keywords : Biomechanics; Running; Advanced FootwearTechnology; Running mechanics; Motion analysis; Biomekanik; Löpmekanik; Rörelseanalys;

    Abstract : In the long distance running community there is currently controversy as a result of the release of Advanced Footwear Technology (AFT) type of shoes. The AFT shoes with performance enhancing mechanical properties are currently used with great success. READ MORE

  3. 2. Applicability of Graph Neural Networks to predict Human variability in Human Body Model Rib Strain Predictions

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Statistik, AI och data science

    Author : Julia Solhed; [2022]
    Keywords : Graph Neural Networks; Human Body Model; SAFER HBM; HBM simulation; Rib strain predictions; Rib fracture risk predictions;

    Abstract : Finite element human body models have in recent years become widely used in the area of vehicle safety evaluations. They make it possible to predict injury risk in specific areas, down to the organ level in the human body. An existing human body model, SAFER HBM includes a rib cage representing an average male.

  4. 3. Proteomic and biomechanical properties of human menisci related to osteoarthritis

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Biomedicinsk teknik

    Author : Kristina Gehrisch; Lykke Månsson; [2021]
    Keywords : Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Osteoarthritis is the most common form of arthritis and is expected to become even more prevalent worldwide with an increasingly older and more obese population. The degenerative joint disease, causing pain, swelling and stiffness in the joints, has a complex etiology and knowledge of the pathophysiological mechanisms is still limited. READ MORE

  5. 4. Compound meniscus implant prototypes : Bench test performance of knitted casing to contain, fixate and mechanically stabilize cell seeded gels

    University essay from Högskolan i Borås/Akademin för textil, teknik och ekonomi

    Author : Maria Ydrefors; [2021]
    Keywords : Knitting technology; meniscus replacement; hydrogel; Artelon®; bioprinting; biomechanical properties;

    Abstract : Meniscal tears are the most common intra-articular injury of the knee joint. Due to the avascular zone with limited blood supply, treatment of the injury is a complex process. Today, research on the development of efficient treatments and meniscal replacements is of increasing interest. READ MORE

  6. 5. Development of patient-specific fetal head phantom for experimental evaluation of vacuum assisted delivery

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

    Author : Maria Pop; [2021]
    Keywords : Vacuum assisted delivery; Vacuum extractor device; Traction force; Vacuum pressure; Fetal head phantom; Ultrasound imaging; Sonomicrometry;

    Abstract : Vacuum assisted delivery (VAD) is a common procedure used in the final stage of labor in the situation of a difficult natural delivery. Since the only biomechanical studies concerning the clinical safe traction force were conducted during 70s using simplified models to mimic the fetal head, concerns remain regarding the side effects of this medical intervention when applying high levels of traction forces.
