Abstract
This work shows the development of a biomechanical model, the design of a measurement device and the creation of a computer platform, which all together allow to obtain the numerical value of the muscle force applied by a person on the flexion and extension movement of the upper and lower limb differentiated by each muscular group involved. The purpose of this project is to aid the specialist in the medical diagnosis, presenting accurate data, and keep a record of the evolution of the patient in a quantified manner.
Keywords
