X Abstract

We are proposing a human arm model that consists of three rigid segments with seven degrees of freedom. The shoulder joint was modeled as a ball-and-socket joint and the elbow and wrist joints were modelled as skew-oblique joints. Optimal parameters for this model were calculated on the base of in vivo recordings with a spatial tracking system. The criterion of optimality was defined as the minimum of the mean-square deviation between the experimentally obtained sensor positions and orientations and their positions and orientations calculated by solving the direct kinematics problem. The minimal value of the direct kinematics error was found to be 0.5-0.6cm for sensor positions and 5-7 degrees for sensor orientations. We are proposing that these values serve as the assessment for the accuracy of the arm model.
