title: Simplified analytical dynamic model for a parallel prosthetic elbow.
abstract: A three degree of freedom elbow prosthesis impelled by linear actuators disposed in parallel is modeled by the Lagrange-Euler method. The method proposes to replace a parallel mechanism with an equivalent serial topology with the purpose of calculating the Lagrangian, however the parallel topology is used for the calculus of forces and torques. The result is a simplification in the mathematical analysis without an important loss in precision.
