Schlösser, Eva (author)Laparoscopic surgery uses small incisions and a camera for abdominal or pelvic operations, with benefits such as shorter recovery time and hospital stay. However, reduced surgeon hand-eye coordination and feedback can lead to excessive applied force and potential tissue damage. Haptic and visual feedback systems have been...master thesis 2023

Dullaart, Daan (author)Minimally invasive surgery (MIS) has several advantages over conventional surgery, including reduced damage to the body, less pain, lower infection risk, and faster recovery. However, MIS reduces the amount of space in which clinicians can operate within the body. This often forces them to work around delicate anatomical structures. A new type...master thesis 2023

Schrijvershof, Pim (author)Background : Surgeons performing robotic-assisted laparoscopic surgery experience physical stress and overuse of shoulder muscles due to sub-optimal arm support during surgery. Following background literature research on passive<br/>dynamic arm supports, this report presents and evaluates a novel design.<br/>Objective: To present a novel design...master thesis 2023

Schuurman, Jesse (author)Background: Treatment of eye conditions, such as retinal detachment, macular pucker or macular holes, ask for an intervention named ”vitrectomy”. In a vitrectomy, multiple surgical instruments are brought into the eye, to facilitate removal of the vitreous humor. The instruments enter the eye through trocar ports that are placed in the sclera....master thesis 2023

Heemskerk, Robert (author)In dangerous environments, teleoperation is needed to enable humans to execute tasks remotely. To assist in these tasks, haptic teleoperation systems provide the human operator with the sense of touch of the telerobot. One way to provide this sense of touch is through high-frequency vibration feedback. State-of-the-art solutions generally rely...master thesis 2023

Brabander, Jesper (author)Automation within an industrial sector has now for years been an obvious factor. Everywhere mechanical instruments and sensors are implemented for fast and precise processes. The agricultural sector is some steps behind in relation to other sectors. Reason being that there are many irregularities which in other sectors have been made into...master thesis 2023

van Hijfte, Zasha (author)This thesis investigates the behavior of an elastomer spherical structure compressed by a small object compared to the cross-section of the structure. The study is based on the situation in which a child catches a ball multiple times with two hands. This was simplified to a situation where a hemisphere was cyclically compressed by a small object...master thesis 2023

van Rooij, Bob (author)Virtual training environments are powerful tools for various applications. To increase the immersion and realism of these environments, several devices have been developed capable of rendering a wide range of haptic sensations. As humans mainly interact with objects using their hands, the main focus of research has been on developing devices...master thesis 2023

Ravenhorst, Joris (author)The Dutch speedskating federation expressed the need for a feedback system for elite long-track speedskaters that can aid them in finding the optimal technique for an individual athlete. To contribute to this goal, this research aims to develop an optimization workflow that can reproduce realistic steady state speedskating behaviour. This is...master thesis 2023

van Beek, Marije (author)Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) is a rare but aggressive type of primary liver cancer with a dismal prognosis. CCA commonly metastasizes to the lungs and lymph nodes, significantly reducing overall survival. However, a mechanistic understanding of how CCA invades these metastatic sites remains lacking. This is partly due to the failure of current...master thesis 2023

van Hogerwou, Thomas (author)BACKGROUND: Rising UCL injury rates at both amateur and professional levels have been linked to fatigue in baseball pitchers. Repeated pitching has been associated with changes to kinematics, kinetics, and perceived fatigue, but no statistical model exists which incorporates all the most common aspects of fatigue into one framework. Confirmatory...master thesis 2023

Zielstra, Lennart (author)Stroke patients can have spastic paresis of the lower leg, impeding an ankle which hinders gait. A novel orthosis has been developed which counteracts this impediment to the ankle. It is expected that gait training will improve stroke patients' use of the orthosis by increasing their ankle dynamics. Gait training with biofeedback, which is based...master thesis 2023

Aydin, Güven (author)Treatment of prostate cancer can be done by performing brachytherapy, where radioactive seeds are transperineally implanted in the prostate via needles. A known problem during treatments with needles is the risk of targeting errors caused by the deviation of the needle from the planned path in the prostate. One of the main sources of this error...master thesis 2023

Groenewegen, Jessica (author)Distal cement plug removal in total hip arthroplasty revision is a time-consuming and technically challenging procedure. There is a risk of perforating the femur while drilling in the cement plug. This risk increases when the orientation of the prosthesis tip is excentric. The aim of this study was to design a reusable drill guide that...master thesis 2023

Ackermans, Bas (author)Pectus Excavatum (PE) is a common deformity of the thoracic wall, characterized by a depression of the sternum. In the current golden standard for surgical correction of PE, the deformity is instantaneously corrected, causing severe and prolonged post-operative pain. The goal of this study is to design and validate a novel implant to slowly...master thesis 2023

Brinkman, Anne (author)Background: The lack of access to electric powered wheelchairs for disabled people in low- and middle-income countries, that suit their rural environments, still remains an issue. Current available electric powered wheelchairs that do adapt to these rural environments are expensive and require complex control algorithms.<br/>Objective: The aim...master thesis 2023

Tuijp, Jeroen (author)Endoscopic instruments are integral components of minimally invasive procedures, widely used for diagnoses and treatment of diseases. When navigating the endoscope, it should experience a minimum of friction, while an increase in friction is beneficial for performing the medical procedure. Friction can be reduced by squeeze film levitation,...master thesis 2023

Schuurbiers, Stefan (author)Of all reported cases, muscular pain in the arms is the second main cause of work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs) in European workers. The most popular prevention method for shoulder-related WMSDs are passive shoulder exoskeletons, as of their light weight and ease of use. Yet, due to their static force-angle characteristic, passive...master thesis 2022
