“…Limb segment masses were estimated on the basis of average values for adult males (upper arm: 2.1 kg; forearm: 1.7 kg) and females (upper arm: 1.7 kg; forearm: 1 kg) (Nikolova and Toshev 2007). Limb or combined limb/KINARM segments (see below) were connected to each other and to a cylindrical body element via single degree of freedom rotational joints to simulate simple shoulder and elbow articulations in the horizontal plane.…”

“…In order to achieve this goal, we have performed a realization of the model in CAD system -SolidWorks. We have verified the computer realization by comparing the results it delivers for the mass-inertial parameters of the segments of the body with those reported in [13]. The basic positions of the body have been classified long ago in the literature -see, e.g., [1,2,3].…”

Abstract. The aim of the present research is to present a 16-segmental biomechanical model of the Bulgarian male to determine the mass-inertial characteristics of the body of the Bulgarian male based on parameters available in the literature and its 3D generation within SolidWorks software. The motivation of the research is to support mainly sport, rehabilitation, wearable robots and furniture design users. The proposed CAD model of the human body of men is verified against the analytical results from our previous investigation, as well as through comparison with data available in the provided references. In this paper we model two basic human body positions: standing position and sitting with thighs elevated. The comparison performed between our model results and data reported in literature gives us confidence that this model can be reliably used to calculate the mass-inertial characteristics of male body at any postures of the body that is of interest. Therefore, our model can be used to obtain data for positions which the human body has to take in everyday live, in sport, leisure, including space exploration, for investigating criminology casesbody fall, car crash, etc. The model is suitable for performing computer simulation in robotics, medicine, sport and other areas.

Abstract. Motion control is complicated for people having traumas or neurological diseases. An underlying assumption in our work is that the motion of healthy people is optimal with respect to positioning accuracy, movement response, and energy expenditure. In this paper, a new approach for determination of the human upper limb mass-inertial characteristics is presented by using the 3D geometrical mathematical modeling analysis approach. Two examples will be given to illustrate the main features and advantages of the proposed design concepts. The objective of the work presented in this paper is a determination of the mass properties of a two joints human upper limb manipulator. Results are aimed to have application in an exoskeleton design, the design of manipulation system and external manipulation system, serving people with some motion difficulties, as well as in sport and rehabilitation.
