Résumé / Abstract
Reaching and pointing on a target is a very common task in workplace design. The index trajectory for these movements can be used in inverse kinematics simulation processes as end-effecter. In most of published work, hand reaching movements were generally restricted to a small part of reachable space and the trunk was not involved in motion (see a recent exhaustive review on arm reaching movements, Desmurget et al., 1998). The aim of the study was to investigate temporal and spatial characteristics of hand trajectory in a large arm reachable space under the background of ergonomic simulation with a computerized human figure model. In particular, influence of target location was studied as well as the issue of trajectory simulation.
