Abstract
This work presents a 3D upper limb musculoskeletal model and the simulation of arm rotation for the case of a healthy human subject and one with upper brachial plexus injury (UBPI). Then, the length change in muscles, range of movement and muscle force was obtained and compare for both cases. The results show a notable difference between the two cases and can be used to define an effective rehabilitation therapies for this injury and to develop a rehabilitation exoskeleton.
