Determination of the Elbow Joint Resulting Torque and Obtaining Customized Numerical Results

Abstract The same as with dynamic models, all analytical biomechanical models can be analyzed directly, when going essentially from cause to effect, or indirectly (inversely) when going from effect to cause. This article presents the dynamic model with a degree of freedom, regardless of the structural model adopted. From the results it was observed that the torque of the joint reaction forces depending on the mechanical loading conditions of the analyzed body segment is a functional parameter of any technical system used in the rehabilitation of the elbow joint.
