Abstract

Voluntary and reflexive muscle activation of human elbow joint is investigated by both subject test and numerical simulation. A jerk loading is applied to extend elbow joint with different muscle tensing and pre-recognition conditions. Inter- and Intra-subject variations of hand displacement are analyzed for an objective assessment of the active response at elbow joint to the external perturbation. Both Modelica and finite element mesh models are developed using passive kinematic joint element and active torque which has PID close loop control. The simulation result from these two models are compared with test results and shows a good correlation.
