  1. 6. Gait screening using a mobile phone application : horse asymmetry levels and usability of a mobile phone application for gait analysis, during a long format FEI eventing competition

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Anatomy, Physiology and Biochemistry

    Author : Jonna Martinsson; [2022]
    Keywords : Gait analysis; motion asymmetry; performing horses; FEI eventing; Artificial intelligence; computer vision; kinematics; gait screening; mobile phone application;

    Abstract : Orthopaedic disorders are the most common reason for unplanned rest in the performing horse population. Locomotor disorders which slowly build up to clear lameness might be avoidable with easy access objective motion measurement devices. READ MORE

  3. 7. An alignment tool for prosthetic components : A conceptual development

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

    Author : Robin Johansson; [2022]
    Keywords : Prosthetics; alignment; malalignment; misalignment; artificial limb; design; product development.; Protes; uppställning; inställning; felställning; konstgjord kroppsdel; design; produktutveckling;

    Abstract : 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

  4. 8. The acute effect during gait on foot as a segment, calcaneus, tibia, femur, and pelvic after an intervention with wedged sandals in a sample with overpronation

    University essay from Högskolan i Halmstad/Akademin för företagande, innovation och hållbarhet

    Author : Tina Jönsson; [2022]
    Keywords : Overpronation;

    Abstract : Background: Overpronation has been suggested to affect the body's biomechanical chain andalter the position of the back and lower extremities. These alterations also affect muscles andtissues in the surrounding area, causing pain in the back and lower extremities, limitingactivity, and decreasing quality of life. READ MORE

  5. 9. 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 teknik

    Author : Julius Dahlgren; [2022]
    Keywords : biomechanics; knee; cartilage; subject-specific; finite element; FE; FEM; weight loss; osteoarthritis; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : 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

  6. 10. Why should 3D Gait Analysis be included in the Walking Pattern Assessment of individuals with Spinal Cord Injury? : Biomechanical analysis of gait and gait patterns in individuals with spinal cord injury

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

    Author : Chiara Pollicini; [2022]
    Keywords : Spinal cord injury; 3D gait analysis; gait features; GDI; GPS; Clinical assessments; ASIA scale;

    Abstract : Background: The yearly incidence of people with Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) is between250,000 and 500,000, according to the World Health Organization (WHO). The injury often reduces the ability to walk. Various consequences affect the nervous system and, thus, the entire body. READ MORE
