  1. 11. 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

  3. 12. 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

  4. 13. A Wavelet-Based Surface Electromyogram Feature Extraction for Hand Gesture Recognition

    University essay from Mälardalens högskola/Akademin för innovation, design och teknik

    Author : Axel Forsberg; [2018]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The research field of robotic prosthetic hands have expanded immensely in the last couple of decades and prostheses are in more commercial use than ever. Classification of hand gestures using sensory data from electromyographic signals in the forearm are primary for any advanced prosthetic hand. READ MORE

  5. 14. sEMG Classication with Convolutional Neural Networks: A Multi-Label Approach for Prosthetic Hand Control

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Biomedicinsk teknik

    Author : Alexander Olsson; [2018]
    Keywords : Electromyography; Machine Learning; Deep Learning; Gesture Recognition; Neural Networks; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : In myoelectric prosthesis design, there is often a trade-off between control robustness and range of executable movements. As a low movement error rate is necessary in any real application, this often results in a quite severe limitation on the dexterity of the user. READ MORE

  6. 15. Creating a Body Powered Prosthetic Arm with 3D Printing Technology

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Biomedicinsk teknik

    Author : Matilda Svensson; Malin Klerstad; [2018]
    Keywords : Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : 3D printing, or additive manufacturing, is a technology that uses a digital model to print a three-dimensional object, layer by layer. Today, it is widely used in many different fields and provides a manufacturing method with advantages such as precision and the ability to print complex shapes from many different materials. READ MORE
