The world faces a significant challenge regarding access to prosthetics for amputees. In 2017,it was estimated that there were nearly 58 million amputees worldwide, and this figure isexpected to double by 2050. Despite this, only a small fraction of them have access toprosthetics. The reasons for this inadequate access include high costs, lack of k...
Syfte: Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka vad kliniker upplever påverkar förskrivningsprocessen av mikroprocesstyrd knäkomponent (MPK) i de olika regionerna i Sverige. Metod: Kvalitativ analys med semistrukturerade intervjuer genomfördes. Intervjuerna genomfördes och spelades in med Zoom eller Teams programvara och data analyserades sedan te...
Sensory feedback possesses the possibility of adding a new dimension to many applications, including, but not limited to, prosthetics and surgical robots for improved control, virtual reality for incorporation of another sense, and phantom limb pain reduction for amputees. Electrotactile stimulation provides a compact, light-weight, energy efficien...
The use of non-invasive signal acquisition methods is today the standard for testing pattern recognition algorithms in prosthetic control. Such research had shown consecutively high performance on both prerecorded and real time data, yet when tested in real life they deteriorate. To investigate why, the author who is a congenital amputee, wore a pr...
