I'm trying to model joint moments in the human body using Hollerbach's
algorythm.  My background is in Computer Science, not robotics.  I have
two questions:

Has anyone seen any literature describing the human body using Kahn's
notation - esp. the joints of the leg and arm?

I plan to write the code to take the angular displacements, velocities and
accelerations (i.e., q, q_dot, q_double_dot) as input and produce the
joint forces as output; this will be integrated into a larger package.  I'm
sure someone has done this before, and would rather not reinvent the wheel,
so does anyone have any code they can share? I'm looking for C or C++, but
almost anything will do.
