Abstract

The paper presents the results of kinematic analysis of the prototype of rehabilitation device for human upper limb. The aim of these measurements was to assess possibility to execute PNF movements in upper limb joints and correctness of functioning of control algorithms responsible for reproducing of assigned movements The measuring site consisted of a set of 4 digital cameras, computer workstation, a set of markers, calibrating dice and light sources. Measurements were carried out for simple and complex movements. First a man forced a motion sequence, and then the device had to repeat it. Measurements revealed necessity of changes in constructions due to unacceptable positioning inaccuracy. Exemplary results before and after these changes are presented in the paper.
