Designing a Loadcell for a Walker to Measure Upper Extremities’ Forces, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Zohoor, Hassan (Supervisor)
Abstract
In this project, two bidirectional loadcell are designed and fabricated to be installed on a walker. Then upper extremities’ forces and moments have been obtained. Results can be used for rehabilitation purposes in Spinal Cord Injuries and Cerebral Palsy cases. The method used in this project is as follows: First, since the commercial multidirectional loadcells are too expensive, the loadcell (and an appropriate electronic board) are fabricated. Ultimately, a complete gait analysis by means of VICON motion analysis and using inverse dynamic method has been held to measure upper extremities’ forces and moments in the wrist, elbow and shoulder. The results for a person with Spinal Cord Injury...
