Abstract

The skeletal muscle model is an important tool to study the law of human movement and muscle force, and the joint movement of human upper limbs is extremely complex. In this paper, we model the human upper limb based on OpenSim and the main force muscle, simplify the human upper limb skeletal muscular system, and design experiments based on the two basic movements of pushing and pulling to evaluate the effectiveness of the model, which proves that the model simulation results are highly correlated with the experimental results. Finally, a human upper limb model with three joints, eight groups of major muscles and ten marking points was established, which can simplify the simulation of human movement and is very helpful for studying human upper limb movement.
