kinematic and dynamic model of human hand

[Oyvind Stavdahl]

Hi everybody,

I need to find/establish a model of the human upper limb
from the elbow down to the finger tips. My aim is to gain
understanding of the kinematics and _dynamics_ of the limb
(that is, the relationship between muscular contraction
force in hand/arm and the resulting angular accelerations
of the actuated joints).

I would be very thankful for any references to persons or
litterature dealing with this or (closely) related issues.

Thanks in advance - according to tradition I will post a
summary of the responce.


Regards,
Oyvind Stavdahl
