van Trigt, B. (author)In baseball pitching, high performance is closely related to injuries. The baseball pitch is a rapid, full-body throwing motion that culminates in a ballistic motion of the throwing arm, creating high ball velocity but exposing the elbow to significant loads. As a result, injuries to the medial side of the elbow involving the Ulnar Collateral...doctoral thesis 2023

Aiple, M. (author)This thesis explores possibilities and constraints in performing dynamic tasks through teleoperated robots. Teleoperation is commonly used to execute tasks by a human operator guiding a robot remotely through means of a teleoperation system. The teleoperation system bidirectionally mirrors the motions and forces between a handle device held by...doctoral thesis 2021

Wildenbeest, J.G.W. (author)Telemanipulation systems - in 1925 a vision to remotelytreat patients, today widely adopted in a variety of applications - allow humanoperators to perform tasks which otherwise could not be performed, due to, forexample, limitations with respect to distance (e.g., space), scale (e.g.,surgery or micro-assembly) or hostile...doctoral thesis 2020

Cabrall, C.D.D. (author)This PhD thesis document is a collection of several of my published (and submitted) peer review journal articles from underneath the Human Factors of Automated Driving (HF Auto, PITN-GA-2013-605817) seventh framework program (FP7) of the European Commission. The topics include: human factors, automotive road safety, autonomous/automated driving...doctoral thesis 2019

Lemus Perez, D.S. (author)Over the past few decades, there has been an increasing trend in the development of wearable robotics for rehabilitation and human augmentation. Although most such devices have been envisioned and realized to extend human capabilities, they do not primarily target balance control. For a wide range of physiotherapy recipients, impaired balance,...doctoral thesis 2019

Kuiper, R.J. (author)Remotely controlled subsea vehicles are frequently used for oil and gas applications. A potential future application requiring remote controlled vehicles is deep-sea mining. At the envisioned water depths beyond 1500m, rare minerals are accessible without deep excavation. However, the extreme hyperbaric conditions (i.e. high pressure), limited...doctoral thesis 2019

Filatova, O.G. (author)Human brain consists of grey and white matter. Grey matter largely forms the<br/>outer layer of the brain, and is responsible for decision making and functioning<br/>of the human body. Complementary, the white matter (WM) contains the<br/>communication pathways between the grey matter areas. Diffusion-weighted<br/>magnetic resonance imaging ...doctoral thesis 2019

van Leeuwen, P.M. (author)Driving simulators provide researchers with a flexible, controllable, safe, and economical tool for a range of applications. A pivotal aspect in the application of driving simulators is the development of measures aimed at describing the behavior and performance of the driver and providing knowledge about the way drivers are controlling their...doctoral thesis 2019

Bazilinskyy, P. (author)Automated driving may be a key to solving a number of problems that humanity faces today: large numbers of fatalities in traffic, traffic congestions, and increased gas emissions. However, unless the car drives itself fully automatically (such a car would not need to have a steering wheel, nor accelerator and brake pedals), the driver needs to...doctoral thesis 2018

Naddaf Dezfuli, S. (author)When a bone is fractured, it loses its structural integrity which makes it unable to bear any mechanical load. Therefore, a broken bone must be supported until it regains its strength to handle the body's movement and weight. A surgical procedure is needed to set a fractured bone. This procedure often involves repositioning the bone fragments...doctoral thesis 2018

Kalogianni, K. (author)Somatosensory cortex plays an important role in motor planning and execution.<br/>After ischemic stroke, both afferent projections to sensory cortices (S1/2) and sensory projections to motor cortices are often affected. Changes in S1 are particularly interesting for our understanding of stroke recovery and rehabilitation strategies. The...doctoral thesis 2018

van Oosterhout, J. (author)The success of future fusion power plants as a sustainable energy source greatly depends on their uptime. This uptime relies on the plant's maintenance, which must be performed via tele-manipulation. Tele-manipulated maintenance is challenging, as exemplified by strictly selected and highly trained operators who still require more time to work...doctoral thesis 2018

van der Kruk, E. (author)Speed skating is a rather special form of locomotion. While in most types of human locomotion, humans generate forces by pushing against the environment in the opposite direction of motion, in speed skating the skater pushes sideward to propel himself forward; Insight in the details of the technique can help a speed skater improve his...doctoral thesis 2018

Arifvianto, B. (author)Loss of function and impaired life quality as a result of large bone defects remain a serious problem in the society. Basically, the bone tissue has the capability of healing by itself when fractured. However, impaired healing may occur, leading to delayed union or even non-union when a bone segment is excised above a critical size. In recent...doctoral thesis 2017

Vlaar, M.P. (author)Cortical damage after a stroke often affects movement control, resulting in impairments such as paresis and synergies. Although some recover, most stroke survivors are left with reduced function of the upper limb, which has a severe impact on their activities of daily living. People who have suffered a stroke demonstrate heterogeneous...doctoral thesis 2017

Onneweer, B. (author)Haptic technology is more and more widely used to improve human interaction with devices, for example in touch screens of smartphones that vibrate when touched. Another application is haptic-tele-manipulation where a human controls a slave manipulator (e.g. a surgical-robot) by using a master device (e.g. a joystick). In haptic-tele-manipulation...doctoral thesis 2016

Plooij, M.C. (author)Since the industrial revolution, machines have taken over many tasks from humans, increasing labor productivity and prosperity. In the 20th century, the introduction of robots created a second wave of automation, increasing the labor productivity even further. In order to create a third wave of automation, it is necessary to develop a new...doctoral thesis 2015

De Vries, W.H.K. (author)The goal of this thesis is to assemble a method to estimate shoulder joint reaction forces, in daily conditions, based on long term collection of ambulatory measurable variables, to obtain the desired long term mechanical load profile of the shoulder. Chapter 2 examines, and discusses one of the general assumptions used in IMMS is: the...doctoral thesis 2015

Klomp, A. (author)In many stroke patients, a motor cortex lesion alters motor control. Initially, paresis is most prominent, but then over time, joint stiffening and hyperreflexia may occur. How these different disorders develop over time is still unknown due to high system complexity. Secondary changes in the corticospinal tract, peripheral biomechanics and...doctoral thesis 2015
