A two dimensional three segments coupled pendulum system that mathematically models human arm configuration was developed along with constructing and solving the equations of motions for this model using energy (work) based approach Lagrange. The motion were solved iteratively both as an initial value problem a point boundary problem. In solutions, (segment angles) velocity angular velocities) used inputs, whereas, in solutions final configurations time inputs to solve trajectory motion. results suggest are sensitive small changes dynamic forces applied well conditions used. To overcome sensitivity new is suggested.
