A mattress contact model for a musculoskeletal simulation of human rolling
(Wichita State University, 2020-07)Limited mobility affects a lot of people, including those who have recently had surgery or major trauma, the geriatric population, and people with disabilities. Many people with limited mobility cannot reposition themselves ... -
The development of heparan sulfate within the glycocalyx
(Wichita State University, 2020-07)A key to protecting vessel health occurs at the interface between circulating blood and endothelial cells. Strategically located at this interface is the endothelial glycocalyx, the first “line of protection” for blood ... -
Design and evaluation of a GUI for signal and data analysis of mobile functional near-infrared spectroscopy systems
(Wichita State University, 2020-07)Functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) is an emerging neuro-imaging modality that can indicate cortical functionality with good temporal resolution (0.5-1 sec). Unlike fMRI, up to now, there is no standard method ... -
Photocurable polymers for 3d printing
(Wichita State University, 2020-05)Additive manufacturing, rapid prototyping, and 3D printing are three interchangeable terms that describe creating layers upon layers to form an object from a computer aided design (CAD). Additive manufacturing (AM) has a ... -
Computational investigations of open-circuit spiral resonators for biomedical sensing applications
(Wichita State University, 2019-12)Radio and microwave sensing and imaging technologies are attractive for applications where traditional techniques require an invasive operation or that the patient be exposed to harmful ionizing radiation, as in an x-ray ... -
Non-invasive brain-computer interface to extract six motor imagery features for three-dimensional control
(Wichita State University, 2019-12)Individuals with severe motor and speech disabilities lack the ability to communicate and move. These abilities can be given back to individuals using braincomputer interface (BCI) technology. When neurons within the brain ... -
A noninvasive, electromagnetic, epidermal sensing system for biofluid phenomena detection
(Wichita State University, 2019-12)Health-care technologies for non-invasive monitoring of vital parameters like blood pressure and heart rate are widely used due to their capability to function as a point-of-care device. However, most of these devices are ... -
Cardiac stroke volume measurement using a non-invasive wearable electromagnetic resonator
(Wichita State University, 2019-12)The measurement of cardiac output (CO) parameters is an important tool for the detection of cardio-pathologies and monitoring critically ill patients. There are various existing invasive and non-invasive medical technologies ... -
Non-invasive, point-of-care monitoring of shifts in intracranial biofluid volume using an electromagnetic skin patch sensor
(Wichita State University, 2019-07)Intracranial pressure (ICP) is an important diagnostic indicator of central nervous system function in disease states such as hydrocephalus, pseudotumor cerebri, subarachnoid hemorrhage and under various activities such ... -
Wheelchair-mounted upper limb robotic exoskeleton to detect human intent for activities of daily living
(Wichita State University, 2019-07)The purpose of this thesis was to design, test, and evaluate a three degree of freedom, wheelchair-mounted, robotic upper limb exoskeleton that detects human intent for actuation. The exoskeleton was designed in SolidWorks, ... -
Effect of temperature and frequency on Polyvinylidene Fluoride (PVDF) dielectric properties and its application for wearable Electromagnetic temperature sensor
(Wichita State University, 2019-07)In the human body, sustaining the core body temperature (CBT) is of great importance to maintaining proper cellular and body functions. The temperature of 37⁰C (98⁰F) is the well-established baseline and small variations ... -
RF resonant skin patch sensor for peripheral limb hemodynamics
(Wichita State University, 2019-07)Rapid detection and measurement of blood flow is essential in clinical care; it is one of the fundamental vital signs used to detect physiological parameters such as heart rate and blood flow and is one of the most utilized ...
