    Dear colleagues,
    My basic scientific interest is directed toward the solving of
    indeterminate problems in biomechanics. In particular I work on modelling
    the human upper limb and the optimization task solutions using Lagrange
    multipliers method. For more details you can see in my papers in
    J.Biomechanics - vol 29, 1996, pp.763-772 and vol.25, 1992, pp.857-867.
    Unfortunately because of bad financial situation in Bulgaria I have no
    possibilities to perform experiments that are needed for verification of my
    theoretical results. I need of experimental data including simultaneously
    registration of the joint angles and EMG signals from main flexors and
    extensors in the shoulder, elbow and wrist joint. The motions of the upper
    limb must be in the saggital plane. Has somebody such experimental data?
    The data type is not of importance. If anybody is interested in such type
    of investigations please write me. I can send own programs (for one and
    three degrees of freedom models) that predict muscle forces and joint
    reaction using different objective functions.
    The second my request is connected with the lectures that I deliver in the
    Technical University of Sofia. Since there is no a center for prosthetics
    in Bulgaria, can somebody send me information about new-developments in
    above-knee prosthetic devices (mainly constructions and technical
    achievements) with some type of active control. I would like to show my
    students some photos and give information about prosthetic centers in Europe.
    Thank you in advance
    Sincerely yours
    Dr.R.Raikova

    P.S. I posted this message last week. In connection with the last message
    of Prof. Bogert informing that Biomech-L had not been working properly, I
    am sending it again.
