Modeling, Control, and Clinical Validation of an Upper-Limb Medical Education Task Trainer for Elbow Spasticity and Rigidity Assessment

The goal of this study was to validate a series elastic actuator (SEA)-based robotic arm that can mimic three abnormal muscle behaviors, namely lead-pipe rigidity, cogwheel rigidity, and spasticity for medical education training purposes. Key characteristics of each muscle behavior were first modele...
