University of Southampton – Upper Limb Kinematic Model

 

Abstract:

Script Name: University of Southampton_Upper Limb Kinematic Model.zip

This Upper Limb Kinematic Model was created by the University of Southampton, Dr Martin Warner. The biomechanical model is based on the published research and recommendations of the International Society of Biomechanics (Wu et al., 2005). Any questions regarding this model please contact Dr Martin Warner at [email protected].
