  1. 1. 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

  3. 2. A Methodology to Quantify Alignment of Transtibial and Transfemoral Prostheses using Optical Motion Capture System

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

    Author : Þórey Ásgeirsdóttir; [2022]
    Keywords : Alignment; Lower limb amputees; Prosthesis; Motion Capture;

    Abstract : Background: Lower limb amputees face many challenges, and most of them prefer to use prosthetics for daily tasks and activities. The prosthesis is usually a combination of connected prosthetic components, and their spatial orientation is called the prosthetic alignment. READ MORE

  4. 3. Development of software for digital manufacturing of children’s prosthetic arms for 3D-printing

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Innovation

    Author : Arantxa Juarez Perez; Lisa Phung; [2020]
    Keywords : 3D-printing; prosthetics; Grasshopper; process development; amputation; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : The conventional method to manufacture prosthetic arms is a time-\\consuming and complicated process. It is a process that has many manual steps that allow much room for human errors. With today's technology advancement it is possible to offer a more efficient technology that can replace the conventional manufacturing method of prostheses. READ MORE

  5. 4. Activity and Participation in individuals who have received lower limb prostheses from Exceed : A qualitative study conducted in Cambodia

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

    Keywords : Developing countries; Cambodia; prostheses; activity; participation ;

    Abstract : Background: Cambodia has one of the highest percentages of persons living with disability in the world. Disabled people often encounter stigma in the community, and they do not have the same access to a range of services as the rest of the population. READ MORE

  6. 5. Evaluation of cognitive workload using EEG : Investigation of how sensory feedback improves function of osseo-neuromuscular upper limb prostheses

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Institutionen för medicinsk teknik

    Author : Linn Berntsson; [2019]
    Keywords : EEG; ERP; spectral analysis; cognitive workload; prosthesis;

    Abstract : The e-OPRA Implant System (Integrum AB, Sweden) is a system which employs permanently accessible implantable neuromuscular electrodes in combination with osseointegrated attachment of the prosthesis to the skeleton, in order to create a more natural control of advanced robotic upper-limb prostheses. The system enables the possibility of sensory feedback, via a cuff electrode to the ulnar nerve which allows for direct neurostimulation of the nerve. READ MORE
