Abstract
This chapter presents an EMG-driven elbow physiological model for the elbow flexion/extension movement in the sagittal plane. The upper limb is assumed to be comprised of two rigid body components (the upper arm, and the forearm and hand). Elbow flexion/extension motion is modelled by the ulna rotating about a friction hinge joint where it meets the humerus.
