In fields like rehabilitation, sports sciences and ergonomics, the evaluation of the force feasible set (FFS) of the human limbs may help to better understand the human motor abilities. The aim of this thesis was to compare the upper-limb force capacity at the hand predicted by two different kinds of FFS formalism. The first one originating from the robotics field was used to compute the force ellipsoid (FE), scaled force ellipsoid (SFE), force polytope (FP) and scaled force polytope (SFP). For one posture, they are computed from the upper-limb model and hypotheses and data on maximum isometric joint torques. The second one permitted to compute the FFS modeled as a force polytope from a musculoskeletal model (MSFP). All the previously menti...
