Martoredjo, Ruth (author)In the field of prostheses, significant developments have been accomplished so far in low-cost prosthetic limbs using 3D printing technology. However, when it comes to prosthetic hands, 3D printed prosthetic hands are still limited in their grasping ability, such as the adaptability to the shape of an object and a sufficient pinch force level...master thesis 2019

Neevel, Stephan (author)A future version of the DEMCON Needle Placement System (NPS) for use in the Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scanner requires accurate and small actuators that are MR (Magnetic Resonance) safe; actuators that can safely operate without interfering with the MR environment. The pneumatic stepper motor was chosen for actuation of the aiming...master thesis 2019

Stolk, Bart (author)Sensory nerve roots (DRGs) that emerge from the spinal cord can be stimulated with electrodes to prevent neuropathic pain. Proper functionality of DRG stimulation strongly depends on electrode placement, and conventional pre-curved introduction shafts limit DRG coverage of the implanted electrode lead. The goal of this thesis is to design an...master thesis 2019

van der Kroft, Merle (author)Access to prosthetics is very limited to many potential<br/>users, while the need is high. There are two main reasons<br/>for this that both are related to the production of prosthetics: the lack of skilled people and high costs. Minimized<br/>assembly production using 3D printing could be a solution: no training is required, assembly takes only...master thesis 2018

Vieveen, Sander (author)Background: Delft University of Technology has developed two working prototypes of flexible instruments for surgery, together with a master-slave system. The master-slave system is compatible with the simple parallel cable configuration and the more complex parallel and diagonal cable configuration. It is assumed that the instrument with a...master thesis 2018
