Abstract: The article investigates how the lower movements affect the handle trajectory. Two models of the upper limb are compared. The article suggests that it is more realistic to take into account sternoclavicular joint to stimulate and analyze rowing movement. It discusses the need to improve one of the models to simulate a best hand trajectory in sagittal plane during all the different phases.
