Abstract

The paper presents a virtual model for studying the kinematics of the upper limb. The model was designed using Catia features, that provide also a kinematic module, tailor made for kinematic analysis. The displacement of the upper limb muscles, their velocities and accelerations are determined using that module. We were also able to input the motion law and to study two different motion, that are part of the daily activities or that are used in training.
