Resumen La parálisis cerebral (CP) es una discapacidad del desarrollo infantil que genera un impacto en la capacidad de moverse y caminar. Algunos estudios biomecánicos han desarrollado en el análisis de marcha de niños con CP que caminan de forma independiente, estimando parámetros que cuantifican el rendimiento del movimiento usando unidades de medición inercial (IMU). No obstante, solo una investigación ha proporcionado información acerca de la comparación antes y después del tratamiento fisioterapéutico en niños con CP. Un estudio de viabilidad se está llevando a cabo por la DRK-Kinderklinik en Siegen para dar prueba del concepto acerca de la mejora del control postural después de un bloque intensivo de terapia Vojta. Para este estudio, seis niños con CP y seis niños con desarrollo típico (TD) realizaron pruebas de marcha de 5 metros ida y vuelta, tres veces, usando ...

In modern industrial applications, sensors are an expensive part of installed systems. Nevertheless, many system variables cannot be measured sufficiently frequently or accurately. Thus, soft sensors have been developed to estimate those variables without the expense of additional hardware. The use of a soft sensor with a bias update term has shown to perform well for disturbed systems with time delays and multirate sampling times. In industrial application, the time delay and sampling times often vary. Yet, the case of variation of the time delay and sampling time in the bias update term has not been considered in previous publications. This thesis tests a soft sensor with bias update term in simulation and gives a modification yielding better performance. It is shown that the tested method gives unstable results. Hence, a more general method with a bias update term that considers all p...
