  1. 1. Design and implementation of an energy harvesting system in a prosthetic limb

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Author : Ódinn K. Rúnarsson; [2023]
    Keywords : Energy harvesting; Prosthetic limbs; Supercapacitors; Printed circuit boards; 3D printing; Energiinsamling; Lemmproteser; Superkondensatorer; Tryckta kretskort; 3D Utskrivning; Orkuöflun; Gervilimir; Ofurþéttar; Prentaðar rafrásir; Þrívíddarprentun;

    Abstract : Energy Harvesting, also known as power harvesting or ambient power, is the process of obtaining small amounts of power from secondary sources, such as vibrations, light, temperature variations and even radio-frequency emissions. These systems have been uncommon in personal and wearable electronics in the past, however they are slowly gaining traction. READ MORE

  3. 2. Real-time adaptation of robotic knees using reinforcement control

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Author : Leifur Daníel Sigurðarson; [2023]
    Keywords : Machine learning; deep reinforcement learning; transfer learning; medical device; prosthetic; prosthesis; controls; human-in-the-loop; Maskininlärning; djup förstärkningsinlärning; överföringsinlärning; medicinsk utrustning; protes; kontroller; människa-i-loopen;

    Abstract : Microprocessor-controlled knees (MPK’s) allow amputees to walk with increasing ease and safety as technology progresses. As an amputee is fitted with a new MPK, the knee’s internal parameters are tuned to the user’s preferred settings in a controlled environment. READ MORE

  4. 3. Accuracy and Reliability of 3D Scanning Spatial Data when Capturing Limb Morphology for Use within Prosthetics and Orthotics: A Scoping Review

    University essay from Jönköping University/HHJ. Ortopedteknisk plattform

    Author : Miles Bailey-Brændgaard; Peter Wibe Enevoldsen; [2022]
    Keywords : Scanner; 3D; Accuracy; Reliability; Validity; Prosthetics; Orthotics; Shape capture; Measurement; Human; Shape; Morphology; Assessment;

    Abstract : Background: Scanners are becoming widespread in Prosthetics and Orthotics, replacing plaster casting in the manufacture of some types of devices. P&O shape capture must be accurate and reliable, so the device is comfortable and reproducible between clinicians/sessions. READ MORE

  5. 4. Control of 3D-printed Hand Prosthetic via Intra-body Fat Channel Communication

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Fasta tillståndets elektronik

    Author : Eric Trollsås; [2022]
    Keywords : Fat-IBC; IBAN; Prosthetics; ATE Phantom; Phantom Tissue; 3D-printing; ZigBee;

    Abstract : Intra-Body Communication (IBC) is a prospective technology where human tissue may be used as a signal medium in order to transmit useful data within the human body. Proposed applica- tions of this technology are prosthetics control or implanted device communication, potentially by establishing an Intra-Body Area Network (IBAN), which could further be enhanced by other IoT applications and 5G radio systems.
