2. The effect of different techniques on suspension in aesthetic finger prosthetics
University essay from Jönköping University/HHJ. Ortopedteknisk plattformAbstract : Aesthetic finger prosthetics provide functional and cosmetic benefits. Good suspension of the prosthesis plays a role in the functional and aesthetic effects, and a loose fit can lead to rejection of the prosthetic. READ MORE

3. Elastic Net Regression for Prosthesis Control in Short Residual Limb Amputees: Performance and Generalizability
University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Biomedicinsk teknikAbstract : This Master's thesis in Biomedical Engineering investigates the performance and generalizability of linear regression models in context of prosthesis control for short residual limb amputees. This thesis uses intramuscular electromyography data, and a regression and emplys a regression technique called Elastic Net Regression - a technique that combines L1 and L2-regularization - to predict 1-DOF isometric forces outputs from fingers and the wrist.
