  1. 1. Upplevelser av att leva med en protes för nedre extremitet : En litteraturstudie

    Kandidat-uppsats, Högskolan i Halmstad/Akademin för hälsa och välfärd

    Författare :Nina Ottosson; Emma Böhm; [2023]
    Nyckelord :Experience; lived experience; lower extremity; prosthesis user; Levd erfarenhet; nedre extremitet; protesbärare; upplevelse;

    Sammanfattning : Bakgrund: Protesen har existerat sedan forntida egypten. Att leva med en protes kan ha både negativ och positiv påverkan hos protesbäraren. Omställningen bidrar till en ny livsstil där varje individ kan påverkas i olika utsträckning både psykiskt och fysiskt. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Real-time adaptation of robotic knees using reinforcement control

    Master-uppsats, KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Författare :Leifur Daníel Sigurðarson; [2023]
    Nyckelord :Machine learning; deep reinforcement learning; transfer learning; medical device; prosthetic; prosthesis; controls; human-in-the-loop; Maskininlärning; djup förstärkningsinlärning; överföringsinlärning; medicinsk utrustning; protes; kontroller; människa-i-loopen;

    Sammanfattning : Microprocessor-controlled knees (MPK’s) allow amputees to walk with increasing ease and safety as technology progresses. As an amputee is fitted with a new MPK, the knee’s internal parameters are tuned to the user’s preferred settings in a controlled environment. LÄS MER

  4. 3. An alignment tool for prosthetic components : A conceptual development

    Master-uppsats, Jönköping University/HHJ, Avd. för rehabilitering

    Författare :Robin Johansson; [2022]
    Nyckelord :Prosthetics; alignment; malalignment; misalignment; artificial limb; design; product development.; Protes; uppställning; inställning; felställning; konstgjord kroppsdel; design; produktutveckling;

    Sammanfattning : Prosthetic alignment is the principle of the position and orientation and of the components in a lower limb prosthesis to achieve desirable biomechanical characteristics. Poor alignment of lower limb prostheses is related to decreased balance, knee and hip arthritis, and higher energy expenditure for the user. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Developing a cosmetic cover for transtibial amputees

    Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Innovation

    Författare :Alicia Nordberg; [2021]
    Nyckelord :Amputation; Prosthesis; Cosmetic; Cover; Product development; Design concept; User centered.; Technology and Engineering;

    Sammanfattning : For someone who has undergone an amputation, it is important to be able to decide what the prosthesis should look like. Since many people today choose to have some sort of cover on their prosthesis, either to fill the void or to regain the feeling of a leg, it is very important that it is something that the user feels comfortable with.

  7. 5. Exploring Transtibial Prosthesis User’s Satisfaction and Experiences regarding the Appearance of their Cosmesis : A Qualitative Study

    Kandidat-uppsats, Jönköping University/HHJ. Ortopedteknisk plattform

    Författare :Amal Abdiqadir Salad; Ida Marie Palmgren Pedersen; [2021]
    Nyckelord :amputation; transtibial; below-knee; cosmesis; satisfaction; appearance; thematic analysis; qualitative  ; amputation; transtibial; under knäet; kosmetik; tillfredsställelse; utseende; tematisk analys; kvalitativ;

    Sammanfattning : Background: Cosmesis has been found to have an impact on prosthesis users' body image. Therefore the satisfaction of the cosmesis plays an essential role in a prosthesis user perception of themselves. Most cosmeses on the market are natural-looking, although more futuristic options are coming to the market. LÄS MER
