    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Biomedicinsk teknik

    Author : Nibras Abir Ahad; [2019]
    Keywords : Prosthetic arms; Sensory Feedback; Arduino; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : The sense of touch in our body is something that many of us take for granted. It is after all hard to imagine how we would move and utilize our arms and legs without any sensory feedback. READ MORE

  3. 7. Quantifying Static and Dynamic Stability in Amputees with Low Activity

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

    Author : Snorri Rafn Theodórsson; [2019]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Background: Approximately 67% of lower limb amputees fall once or more every year. It is important for their daily functioning and their social life that their prosthetic device provide them with stability and security. Measuring stability for amputees and their prosthetic devices is challenging, especially for amputees with low activity level. READ MORE

  4. 8. Assessment of function of a 3D-printed body-powered upper limb prosthetic device

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

    Author : Adam Broman; Gustav Blom; [2019]
    Keywords : RIT-arm; hand function; Box and block test; nine-hole peg test; OPUS;

    Abstract : Purpose Conventional arm-prosthesis are expensive to make and therefore limit the availability for users on the geographical locations there the user pays for it. This study compares the hand function of a 3D-printed prosthesis with lower production cost with a traditional prosthesis. READ MORE

  6. 10. Investigating the use of multi-label classification methods for the purpose of classifying electromyographic signals

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Biomedicinsk teknik

    Author : Petter Björklund; [2018]
    Keywords : Biomedical engineering; Statistical classification; Prosthetics; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : The type of pattern recognition methods used for controlling modern prosthetics, referred to here as single-label classification methods, restricts users to a small amount of movements. One prominent reason for this is that the accuracy of these classification methods decreases as the number of allowed movements is increased. READ MORE
