  1. 21. Artificial Neural Networks for Enhanced Exoskeleton Grip Movement

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Matematik LTH

    Author : Malcolm Horal; [2018]
    Keywords : AI; ML; ANN; RNN; Exoskeleton; Electromyography; Mathematics and Statistics;

    Abstract : The idea to artificially enhance our physical abilities has always fascinated humankind and over the cause of history it has resulted in countless important innovations such as wheelchairs and carbon-fiber-reinforced polymer leg prosthetics. By combining electronics and Artificial Intelligence the step towards artificially enhanced limbs has been greatly reduced. READ MORE

  3. 22. Can an insole measure torsion in two different types of prosthetic feet?

    University essay from Högskolan i Jönköping/HHJ. Ortopedteknisk plattform

    Author : Bjarki Hjálmarsson; [2018]
    Keywords : Prosthetics; Vebitosolution; Kinetic; Torsion;

    Abstract :     Introduction: There have not been any prosthetic feet available that can match an intact foot in functionality. Little focus has been on research on prosthetic foot performance in frontal plane motions and while most have investigated sagittal plane motions. READ MORE

  4. 23. Development of an electromyographic smart prosthetic hand

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

    Author : Jacob Parming; Aram Ghaiad; [2018]
    Keywords : Prosthetic hand; Electromyography; Finger; Thumb;

    Abstract : Losing a hand is a highly traumatic experience affecting both the physical life and mental wellbeing of a person. It is therefore vital to provide a prosthetic hand with similar functionality to the hand lost. READ MORE

  5. 24. 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

  6. 25. Myoelectric Prosthetic Hand

    University essay from Högskolan i Halmstad/Akademin för ekonomi, teknik och naturvetenskap

    Author : Konni Lindström; Vedran Zurapovic; [2018]
    Keywords : myoelectrcity; prosthetic; prosthetics; prosthesis; mechanically actuated;

    Abstract : This thesis is a development project for a myoelectric prosthetic hand. That means a mechanical hand that is controlled and actuated by the user's own muscles on the residual limb. The thesis has led to a theoretical concept of a complete prosthesis and a non-complete physical prototype that provides proof of concept and functions. READ MORE
