Biomechanical modelling, just as physiological systems modelling, has become quite popular. Biomechanical analysis, and models investigating man's activities while in motion, require records of motion of the entire body and/or its segments. Therefore, it is quite important to devise methods and techniques to record and quantify human movement. This paper will shrew several different techniques, attempted by the author, and their evaluation. Research leading to the development of equations describing human upper extremity movement is presented. Finally, possible applications and new techniques in human movement recording are discussed.
