  1. 11. How About Running on Mars ? Influence of Sensory Coherence on the Running Pattern and on Spatial Perception in Simulated Reduced Gravity

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

    Author : Marie Keime; [2022]
    Keywords : Adaptation; Gravity; Locomotion; Sensory factors; Spatial perception; Unweighting.; Rörelse; Gravitation; Anpassning; Avvägning; Sensoriska faktorer; Rumslig uppfattning.;

    Abstract : Motor control, including locomotion, strongly depends on the gravitational field. Recent developments like lower-body positive pressure treadmills (LBPPTs) have enabled Earth- based studies on the effects of reduced body weight (BW) on walking and running. Yet, the observed adaptations to simulated hypogravity are not optimal. READ MORE

  3. 12. Advanced Footwear Technology, Are Ground Reaction Forces and Lower Extremity Loading Dependent on Shoe Energy Return Characteristics?

    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

  4. 13. Measurements of biomechanical workload onthe forearm during padel : a pilot study

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Avdelningen för idrottsmedicin

    Author : Rebecka Forsström; [2022]
    Keywords : electromyography; angular velocity; co-contraction; sport biomechanics; wearable technology;

    Abstract : Padel involves repetitive and high-velocity upper limb movements, which can be associated with overuse injuries. There is a lack of evidence regarding injury prevention in padel and a necessity of developing and evaluating ways to monitor workload. READ MORE

  5. 14. 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.

  6. 15. Assessment of hip deformities during childhood: a combined approach of Machine Learning and Finite Element Analysis

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Biomedicinsk teknik

    Author : Klara Eriksson; Jonna Fahrman; [2022]
    Keywords : Biomechanics; Hip joint; Cartilage; Osteoarthritis; Machine learning; Finite element analysis; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Osteoarthritis is a degenerative disease that will cause pain and stiffness in the joint if not treated. One cause of early osteoarthritis in the hip joint is pediatric hip deformities. Hip deformities can occur in different stages of childhood and cause the bones to be misshapen or the hip joint to be dislocated. READ MORE
