The article describes a novel method of conducting measurements and analysis of upper limb movement. The system is applied to validate quality of electrical muscle stimulation (EMS). The paper describes the most important parameters of designed equipment and tools. The process of recording images using a standard webcam and the precise description of measurement post, used methods, image processing and hardware calibration are shown. The main goal of the research is to diagnose effects of rehabilitation or training of the muscle biceps brachii.
