My name is Marnick Los and I will be doing my graduation assignment for the master biomedical engineering at the university of Twente in collaboration with the ORL. I completed the Bachelor of Biomedical Technology and continued the master’s with specialisation in Biorobotics. Besides my study I spend a lot of time on the athletics track and I am also currently employed part time at Defensity college where I work at the prosthetics workshop of the military rehabilitation centre. This is where I was inspired by Prosthetics and orthotics and was lucky enough to find a research topic to graduate in this direction.

Under supervision of Nico Verdonschot and Ruud Leijendekkers I will conduct a case study to assess the safety of running for below-the-knee amputees with an osseointegrated implant. This will broadly entail a recording of kinematics, determining forces on the implant and some analysis on the forces in the implant and bone implant interface.
