  1. 6. Touching on elements for a non-invasive sensory feedback system for use in a prosthetic hand

    Författare :Pamela Svensson; Avdelningen för Biomedicinsk teknik; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; sensory feedback; amputation; referred sensation; non-invasive feedback; upper limb prosthetics; body ownership;

    Sammanfattning : Hand amputation results in the loss of motor and sensory functions, impacting activities of daily life and quality of life. Commercially available prosthetic hands restore the motor function but lack sensory feedback, which is crucial to receive information about the prosthesis state in real-time when interacting with the external environment.

  3. 7. Sensing the environment : development of monitoring aids for persons with profound deafness or deafblindness

    Författare :Parivash Ranjbar; Dag Stranneby; Erik Borg; Charlotte M. Reed; Örebro universitet; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Auditive identification; Deaf; Deafblind; Directional perception; Environmental sound; Filtering; Frequency transposing; Hearing aid; Hearing impairment; Modulating; Monitoring; Tactile perception; Vibratory aid; Vibratory identification; Electronics; Elektronik; TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIKVETENSKAP; Elektronik; Electronics;

    Sammanfattning : Earlier studies of persons with deafness (D) and/or deafblindness (DB) have primarily focused on the mobility and communication problems. The purpose of the present study was to develop technology for monitoring aids to improve the ability of persons with D and/or DB to detect, identify, and perceive direction of events that produce sounds in their surroundings.

  4. 8. Peripheral nerve function : metabolic features, clinical assessment, and heat shock protein 27

    Författare :Kaveh Pourhamidi; Olov Rolandsson; Lars B Dahlin; Svein-Ivar Mellgren; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

    Sammanfattning : Peripheral neuropathy is a common complication among patients with diabetes mellitus, but whether peripheral neuropathy is present in individuals with impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) is debatable. In order to identify and diagnose peripheral neuropathy correctly, it is important to evaluate diagnostic tools that can be implemented in routine health care to assess both large and small nerve fibre function.

  5. 9. 3D Auditory Displays for Driver Assistance Systems

    Författare :André Lundkvist; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Teknisk akustik; Engineering Acoustics;

    Sammanfattning : A constantly increasing number of advanced driver assistance systems are implemented in cars.The driver is required to interpret the data reported by these systems while driving, and thereforeit is important to know how the information signals provided by such systems affect the driver.
