  1. 31. 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

    Abstract : Nowadays, people spend 90% of their time indoors, thus creating a healthy indoor environment for occupants is of great importance. Lighting in office spaces is an important aspect when it comes to occupant health and well-being. READ MORE

  5. 34. Gauntlet-X1: Smart Glove System for American Sign Language translation using Hand Activity Recognition

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för informationsteknologi

    Author : Asif Mohamed; Paul Sujeet; Vishnu Ullas; [2020]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The most common forms of Human Computer Interaction (HCI) devices these dayslike the keyboard, mouse and touch interfaces, are limited to working on atwo-dimensional (2-D) surface, and thus do not provide complete freedom ofaccessibility using our hands. With the vast number of gestures a hand can perform,including the different combinations of motion of fingers, wrist and elbow, we canmake accessibility and interaction with the digital environment much more simplified,without restrictions to the physical surface.

  6. 35. Evaluation of the validity of IMU sensors measuring wrist angular velocity by comparison with an optical motion tracking system

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

    Author : Mogos Tseletu Tesfaldet; [2020]
    Keywords : Angular velocity; Optical motion tracking; IMU sensors; percentile; correlation coefficient; root mean square deviation;

    Abstract : There is a need for objective methods for wrist angular velocity measurements for accurate risk assessments because there is a high frequency of musculoskeletal disorder in workers. The goal of this project was to validate the accuracy of inertial measurement unit sensors to measure the angular velocity. READ MORE
