Deformation along human medial gastrocnemius muscle fibers in vivo during low-level plantar flexion activity

Arpak, Arda. (Thesis (M.S.)-Bogazici University. Institute of Biomedical Engineering, 2017., 2017.)

Mechanical behavior of skeletal muscle has been previously shown to be determined by the interactions between contractile elements of the muscle and the extracellular matrix. Moreover, in the level of a whole limb, ...
Design of a breathing simulator generating adult and pediatric patterns

Tüzünoğlu, Senad. (Thesis (M.S.)-Bogazici University. Institute of Biomedical Engineering, 2019., 2019.)

In this thesis, a mechanical breathing simulator is developed, constructed, tested and calibrated for the experimental use of medical devices such as nasal drug products, nebulizers and inhalers. The aim of the simulator ...
Development of a recurrent netural network based estimation algorithms for ankle power by using surface EMG

Atal, Alper. (Thesis (M.S.)-Bogazici University. Institute of Biomedical Engineering, 2022., 2022.)

Estimation of ankle power can be used in identification of gait abnormalities and establishing timings of net power generation in powered prosthetic devices. Cur rent inverse dynamics calculations of ankle power rely on ...
Development of neural network based algorithm of active ankle prosthesis using gait analysis data

Keleş, Ahmet Doğukan. (TThesis (M.S.)-Bogazici University. Institute of Biomedical Engineering, 2017., 2017.)

Amputation is the removal of a part or all of a limb due to disease, accident or trauma and it has a large incidence rate. For example, in the United States, an average of 500 people loses at least one limb every day, ...
Development of powered ankle prosthesis classification algorithms for step-up vs. step-down movements using machine learning fed exclusively by surface electromyography

Sürhan, Onur. (Thesis (M.S.) - Bogazici University. Institute of Biomedical Engineering, 2021., 2021.)

Rapidly increasing developments in the field of artificial intelligence yield implications for motion supportive devices. Powered ankle prostheses (PAP) employ actuation mechanisms that aim to support amputees during ...
Development of SEMG and artificial neural networks based powered ankle prosthesis control algorithms for stair ascending and descending motions

Türksoy, Ramazan Tarık. (Thesis (M.S.)-Bogazici University. Institute of Biomedical Engineering, 2021., 2021.)

Amputation is the surgical removal of a limb due to various reasons, e.g trauma. Prosthesis is a device which is a replacement for the missing part of the limb. Ankle joint can have loads of 10-13 times of the body weight ...
Effects of aponeurotomy on mechanics of muscle with intact neighboring muscular and nonmuscular structures

Yaman, Bora. (Thesis (M.S.)-Bogazici University. Institute of Biomedical Engineering, 2008., 2008.)

Aponeurotomy (AT) is a surgical technique used to lengthen spastic and/or short muscles. In previous studies, the biomechanical effects of AT were studied both experimentally and by finite element modeling in isolated ...
Effects of botox on non-injected muscles' mechanics and myofascial force transmission

Vardal, Ferah. (Thesis (M.S.)-Bogazici University. Institute of Biomedical Engineering, 2017., 2017.)

Studies show that Botulinum toxin type A (BTX) injection causes a force decrease in the injected muscle. However, if BTX has e ects beyond the injected muscle via di usion and altered epimuscular myofascial force transmission ...
Effects of epimuscular myofascial force transmission on sensory level: experimental assessment by afferent signals received from frog lower leg muscles

Arıkan, Önder Emre. (Thesis (M.S.)-Bogazici University. Institute of Biomedical Engineering, 2009., 2009.)

It has shown that non-tendinous structures play a major role in force transmission: epimuscular myofascial force transmission. Such force transmission was shown to cause substantial stain distributions along muscle fibers ...
Effects of hamstring lengthening surgery on muscle-tendon velocities of patients with cerebral palsy
