  1. 21. Arm Injury Prediction with THUMS SAFER: Improvements of the THUMS SAFER upper extremity

    University essay from KTH/Hållfasthetslära; KTH/Lättkonstruktioner

    Author : Mariam Bayat; Nichakarn Pongpairote; [2020]
    Keywords : Biomechanics; upper extremity; arm; validation; Total HUman Model for Saftey THUMS ; Finite Element Modelling FEM ; Biomekanik; övre extremitet; arm; validering; Total HUman Model for Saftey THUMS ; Finite Element Modellering FEM ;

    Abstract : Globally, approximately 1.2 million people die each year due to traffic accidents. Upper extremity injuries account for 18% to 25% of all car accident injuries. In order to be able to analyze these crash-related injuries, Human body models(HBMs) are used as a complement to FE simulations. READ MORE

  3. 22. Geometric and Mechanical Analysis of Aortic Aneurysm

    University essay from KTH/Hållfasthetslära

    Author : Natalia Lindgren; [2020]
    Keywords : Biomechanics; Solid Mechanics; Mechanics; Hållfasthetslära; Mekanik; Biomekanik;

    Abstract : The aorta, the main and largest artery in the human body, is susceptible for many types of problems. One of the most common aortic disease is the formation of an aneurysm. READ MORE

  4. 23. Modeling and Evaluation of a Finite Element Cervical Spinal Cord for Injury Assessment

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

    Author : Nicole Valle Olivera; [2020]
    Keywords : Biomechanics; Neuronics; Spinal Cord; LS-Dyna;

    Abstract : Motor vehicles collisions and falls have gradually increase the risk for spinal cord injuries. An increased knowledge of the spinal behavior and its injury mechanisms can be used as preventive strategies. READ MORE

  5. 24. Resisted Sprint Training in Swimming : A Quasi-Experimental Study on Swedish National Level Swimmers

    University essay from Gymnastik- och idrottshögskolan, GIH/Institutionen för idrotts- och hälsovetenskap

    Author : Antonio Lutula; [2019]
    Keywords : swimming; sprint swimming; resisted sprint training; resisted swimming; anaerobic power; swim power; swim bench; 1080 sprint; 1080 motion; force velocity; biomechanics;

    Abstract : Aim The aim of this study was to ascertain the effect of resisted sprint training in swimming on maximal swimming velocity and performance characteristics. The aim was also to examine how maximal swimming velocity is related to maximal swim power and maximal dry-land power. READ MORE

  6. 25. Prescribing Motion by Mirroring : Using Kinematics from an Individual's Sound Leg in Order to Prescribe the Motion of an Aid

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

    Author : Marcus Jonsson; [2019]
    Keywords : Biomechanics; Mechanics; Mirroring; Prosthesis; Biomekanik; Mekanik; Protes; Spegling;

    Abstract : Prostheses available today are either passive or active. Active prostheses canapply external energy to the joints, while passive cannot. A well functionalprosthesis that is adapted to the wearer can improve the locomotion and alsodecrease the metabolic cost. READ MORE
