Abstract
Stroke is the third largest cause of death in Malaysia. Different approaches including hardware development and simulation were conducted to support the conventional rehabilitation courses. New upper limb rehabilitation robot prototype was developed for this research. The prototype consists of horizontal and vertical movement exercise. The prototype was modeled and simulated using ergonomics optimization software known as AnyBody. This paper presents the analysis of human upper limb muscles during rehabilitation exercise using virtual human model. The result shows that eleven muscle areas were affected during the rehabilitation exercise using new prototype.
