The paper presents a dynamic model of the human upper limb considering it as a kinematic chain with 7 degrees of freedom. The bones were modeled in Solid Works, the model of the upper limb obtained being very close as form to the real one. The differential equations obtained were solved using Newton Euler formalism with the help of Maple programs. The reacting forces which appear in elbow joint associated with flexion-extension and pronation-supination movements are determinate as well. The dynamic model provides a good approximation of total weight and mass distribution as well as transmissibility and amortization properties for bones, muscles andjoints.
