    We have aimed at constructing a forward dynamics model (FDM) of the human arm in the form of an artificial neural network while recordings of EMG and movement trajectories. We succeeded in: (1) estimating the joint torques under isometric conditions and (2) estimating trajectories from surface EMG signals in the horizontal plane. The human arm has seven degrees of freedom: the shoulder has three, the elbow has one and the wrist has three. Only two degrees of freedom were considered in the previous work. Moreover, the arm was supported horizontally. So, free movement in 3D space is still a necessity. And for 3D movements or posture control, compensation for gravity has to be considered. In this papre, four joint angles, one at the elbow and three at the shoulder were estimated from surface EMG signals of 12 flexor and extensor muscles during posture control in 3D space.
