Abstract
The quantitative assessment of human joint torque capability has manyimportant applications. By means of a multibody approach, the authorsdescribed a formulation for 3D inverse dynamic analysis of a human armduring voluntary free movement. In particular, it is presented as a testcase where the kinematics of the arm is obtained by means of a video-based human motion analysis system.
