Estimating Shoulder-Complex Mobility

Modeling shoulder motions is essential in understanding upper-limb dynamic behavior. However, the mobility of the shoulder complex—in terms of degrees of freedom (DOFs)—is seldom quantified. In this paper we propose applying the theory of mechanisms and, especially, the powerful Grübler–Kutzbach for...
