Biomechanics-Mockup: Realistic kinematics of human shoulder joint performing planar motions

V. Ramadoss : Visit my Youtube channel by clicking the video preview below

Description of the Model

This repository describes kinematics of shoulder joint which is highly complex with multiple internal joints rather than conventional 3 DOF ball joint model. The pointing kinematics are important part of rehabilitation exercise. An analytical method is presented here to perform pointing kinematics.

The video below shows a simple trajectory followed by 5-DOF shoulder joint showing abduction/adduction motion which is viewed from a plane.

Graphic Mockup

A library of graphical and computational tools has been written in order to simplify the analysis and to provide a sophisticated and effective mockup.
