Over past ten years, much exciting research has been developed in order to obtain the biomechanical informations of human movements. Much of them is required to model the human body as a linkage system of rigid bodies connected by pin or ball and socket joints. Then, the first step is to determine the equations of motion for the linkage system. The same may be required in the design and control of manipulators and artificial arms or legs. The purpose of this paper is to develop a computer-aided dynamical analysis system for human movements, which is composed of the motion data processing subsystem, the human body model subsystem, and the joint torque and force estimation subsystem. The system is able to analyze and simulate different human movements by pre-assigning the parameters.
