  1. 1. Wrist Angle Estimation Using Two Wearable Inertial Measurement Units

    University essay from KTH/Medicinteknik och hälsosystem

    Author : Arvin Razavi; [2023]
    Keywords : IMU wrist angle estimation; Wrist absolute angle; IMU-based human motion capture; orientation filter; Complementary filter; Kalman filter; IMU handledsvinkeluppskattning; handleds absolutvinkel; IMU-baserad mänsklig rörelsefångst; orienteringsfilter; komplementfilter; Kalman-filter;

    Abstract : Hand-intensive work is closely related to the prevalence of upper body and hand/wrist work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs) in office work, manufacturing, service industries, as well as the healthcare industry. Some risk factors include vibrations, forceful exertions, heavy manual handling, repetitive motions, and prolonged nonneutral wrist postures. READ MORE

  3. 2. Validation of a new iPhone application for measurements of wrist velocity during actual work tasks

    University essay from KTH/Ergonomi

    Author : Mohammed Abderhman Abaid; [2023]
    Keywords : Angular velocity; goniometer; inertial Measurement Unit IMU ; “ErgoHandMeter”; percentile; correlation iii; Vinkelhastighet; goniometer; IMU ; ErgoHandMeter ; percentil; korrelation;

    Abstract : The breakthrough in mobile technology and the development of smartphones, supplied with sensing devices such as Inertial Measurement Units (IMUs), has made it possible to obtain accurate and reliable data on the angular velocity for different objects. The available technical sensors for wrist movements, such as electrogoniometers, are costly, time-consuming, and need a particular computer program to be analyzed. READ MORE

  4. 3. Evaluation of the RAMP Tool’s New Hand Model -Reliability, Usability and Face Validity

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

    Author : Dina Burghol; [2023]
    Keywords : Hand-Intensive Work; RAMP Tool; Observation-based Risk Assessment tools; reliability; Usability; Face Validity.;

    Abstract : Hand-intensive work significantly correlates with the increased risks of developing Distal upper-extremity (DUE) Work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs), such as carpal tunnel syndrome and tendinitis. Many studies have investigated the physical risk factors and their contribution to the occurrence of the DUE WMSDs. READ MORE

  5. 4. COMPARISON OF WRIST VELOCITY MEASUREMENT METHODS: IMU, GONIOMETER AND OPTICAL MOTION CAPTURE SYSTEM

    University essay from KTH/Medicinteknik och hälsosystem

    Author : Karnica Manivasagam; [2020]
    Keywords : Angular velocity; wrist risk assessment; IMU; optical motion tracking system; goniometer; accuracy; Vinkelhastighet; riskbedömning av handleden; IMU; optiskt rörelsespårningssystem; goniometer; noggrannhet.;

    Abstract : Repetitive tasks, awkward hand/wrist postures and forceful exertions are known risk factors for work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs) of the hand and wrist. WMSD is a major cause of long work absence, productivity loss, loss in wages and individual suffering. READ MORE

  6. 5. Smartphone Acquisition and Online Visualization of IMU and EMG Sensor Data for Assessment of Wrist Load

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

    Author : Axel Hult; Daniel Munguia Chang; [2018]
    Keywords : Wrist; Work-related musculoskeletal disorders; WRMD; Inertial Measurement Unit; IMU; Electromyography; EMG; Goniometer;

    Abstract : Work-related musculoskeletal disorders constitutes a substantial burden for society, generating individual suffering and financial costs. Quantifying the musculoskeletal stress and establishing exposure-response relationships is an important step in facing this problem. READ MORE
