Robotic kinematics applied to human biomechanics

Abstract

This work presents two applications of the kinematic robotics in human biomechanics. The first one of these applications is about analysis of upper limb joints in lifting weights; the second one is in human gate. These applications were developed using homogenous matrix and were simulated using the software MatLab®. With the development work was possible to get two mathematical models applied in the area of occupational health and movement analysis. The purpose of these models is to be applied as a tool that will improve the health at work and life quality.
