Theoretical and Experimental Study of the Human Upper Limb Dynamic Behavior

Article Preview

Abstract:

The paper presents the determination of the constraint forces acting in the human upper limb joints, using the inverse dynamic analysis procedure based on Lagrange multipliers method. The kinematics parameters time variation laws were established through experiments for the considered driving joints. The constraint forces time variation laws define the database for the dynamic analysis using the finite element method and for dimensioning an exoprosthetic system for later rehabilitation of the human upper limb motion.
