Abstract
This article presents a biomechanical model of the right arm, developped with respect to the functional anatomy of the human. This model is developped as a motion analysis tool. The main application issued from this model is the muscle forces estimation of the flexion/extension and internal rotation of the forearm joints. This estimation is based on an inverse dynamics method, improved with additionnal constraints such as co-contraction factor between flexors and extensors of a joint. The article first presents the related work, then presents the biomechanical model developed, and at last some results obtained for a sample movement of the arm.
