Modeling of Muscle Force at Varied Joint Angles of the Human Arm and Estimation of Gripping Force Using Surface EMG

摘要

This paper aims to determine the force required for holding the objects by human hand. A static analysis is performed on mathematical modelsto obtain holding force considering lower arm as class three lever and by varying the joint angles. Three mathematical models are discussed to quantify the force required to hold any object, for different weight of the object and the joint angles.
