Determination of the parameters for an athetotic arm model.
A model is developed to represent elbow motions of a cerebral palsied arm with athetotic movements. The parameters of the model are defined and determined. The resulting computer model can then be used to either generate athetotic motions or to regenerate prerecorded experimental data.
