Title:
MOTION DIAGNOSTIC APPARATUS AND METHOD
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JPS60227776
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
A muscle exercise and diagnostic apparatus includes a lever arm (11), an arrangement for mounting the lever arm for rotation about a fixed axis (12), and an arrangement (13,14) for connecting a selected portion of the human body to the lever arm for rotation with the lever arm about a selected anatomical axis of rotation. The connecting system includes a mounting arrangement establishing a fixed tangential mounting relation and a sliding radial mounting relation between the lever arm and the body portion. A velocity control system (19 etc.) is operatively associated with the lever arm (11) for limiting the maximum permitted rotational velocity of the arm (11) to a value predetermined in accordance with a preselected velocity control function which includes measured values of the distances from the point of attachment to the anatomical axis and to the fixed axis. Changes in distance from the point of attachment to the fixed axis are monitored (15) during the exercise motion and the maximum permitted rotational velocity of the lever arm (11) is varied to provide more accurate control of rotational velocity of the body portion relative to the anatomical axis of rotation.
