Abstract

We give a brief review of an upper limb movement model and a detailed plan of experimental study of rapid goal-directed force of upper limb movement during hammering nails. An experimental study is described. Statistical criteria for estimation of movement planarity are formulated. A conclusion about the applicability of a planar model for calculation of upper limb muscle forces is drawn, based on results of a performed trial experimental study.
