  2. 16. The Useworthiness of Robots for People with Physical Disabilities

    Author : Håkan Eftring; Certec - Rehabiliteringsteknik och Design; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Page-turning; End-effector; RAID; Manus; Independence; Needs Analysis; Simplified Robot Use; Automatic Grasping; Case Studies.; Ethics; Rehabilitering medicinsk och social ; rehabilitation; revalidation; kinesitherapy; Physical medicine; Rehabilitation Robotics; Robots; Physical Disabilities; Useworthiness; Usability;

    Abstract : This thesis deals with robotics and the new possibilities it offers people with physical disabilities. I focus on the user and the use of the technology and, in particular, on what makes robotic aids worth using - useworthiness as distinguished from usability. READ MORE

  4. 17. Optics for Low Vision Enabling

    Author : Jörgen Gustafsson; Certec - Rehabiliteringsteknik och Design; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Eccentric viewing; Low vision optics; Low vision rehabilitation; People with low vision; Preferred retinal; locus PRL ; Resolution; Visual acuity; Ophtalmology; Medicinsk teknik; Medical technology; Rehabilitering medicinsk och social ; rehabilitation; revalidation; kinesitherapy; Oftalmologi; Physical medicine; Contrast sensitivity; Detection; Eccentric correction; CFL ; Central visual field loss; Central scotoma; Aberrations; Astigmatism;

    Abstract : For people with central visual field loss, eccentric vision is all that they have to rely on. Even for those who learn how to correctly utilize their eccentric vision, it will never be as good as the central for two entirely different reasons: the off-axis optics of the eye can result in large refractive errors, and the low function of the peripheral retina.

  5. 18. Bridging the Gaps : Realising Human Diversity in the Built Environment through Universal Design

    Author : Lilian Müller; Certec - Rehabiliteringsteknik och Design; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Universell utformning; Tillgänglighet; Byggd miljö; Stadsplanering; Funktionshinder; Mänskliga Rättigheter;

    Abstract : This thesis explores how more equal and inclusive living environments can be achieved by using Universal Design (UD) to incorporate human diversity in all stages of planning and construction. The ongoing exclusion of persons with disabilities from the built environment does not result from a lack of knowledge on how to remedy existing obstacles nor of how to avoid creating new ones.

  6. 19. Internet learning for all. On initial efforts to achieve satisfactory study opportunities for people with disabilities

    Author : Peter Anderberg; Certec - Rehabiliteringsteknik och Design; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; universitet; skola och internet; Lärande; Rörelsehinder; SoTL;

    Abstract : Non-disabled people can adjust their bodies and intellects to fit rigid structures, one example being educational programs. Very often, though, disabled people cannot. Today, the Internet makes individualized study possible in a new way. This should not a. READ MORE

  7. 20. Enabling audio-haptics

    Author : Kirsten Rassmus-Gröhn; Certec - Rehabiliteringsteknik och Design; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Synskador och blindhet; Haptiska gränssnitt - Virtual Reality;

    Abstract : This thesis deals with possible solutions to facilitate orientation, navigation and overview of non-visual interfaces and virtual environments with the help of sound in combination with force-feedback haptics. Applications with haptic force-feedback, sp... READ MORE
