Design and Clinical Validation of a Robotic Ankle-Foot Simulator With Series Elastic Actuator for Ankle Clonus Assessment Training

RA-L 2021

To fulfill the need for reliable and consistent medical training of the neurological examination technique to assess ankle clonus, a series elastic actuator (SEA) based haptic training simulator was proposed and developed. The simulator's mechanism (a hybrid of belt and linkage drive) and controller

Development of a Series Elastic Elbow Neurological Exam Training Simulator for Lead-pipe Rigidity

ICRA 2021poster

This paper describes the development of a 1-DOF kinesthetic force display device in the form of an arm training simulator that replicates the haptic feeling of lead-pipe rigidity in the elbow joint. Patients with lead-pipe rigidity have uniformly elevated muscle tone throughout the range of motion,…
