Popis: In this paper, the 3D virtual model and the prototype of an experimental bench designed and used to test endoprosthesis prototypes for elbow joint in flexion-extension and pronation-supination movements are presented. The experimental tests were carried out on a group of nine healthy subjects and on the corpse prosthetic elbow. Experimental data for flexion-extension movement cycles were acquired using SimiMotion video system. The data files and the flexion-extension angle diagrams are obtained for all the subjects and for the corpse prosthetic elbow. The command programs in C++ for the performance of experimental tests on the bench are elaborated. A comparative experimental study of flexion-extension movement for healthy elbows and for the prosthetic corpse elbow joint fixed on the experimental bench is presented.
