  • Patent number: 10529254
    Abstract: The system and methods describe relate to the diagnosis and quantification of abnormal limb biomechanics. Different embodiments may be used to train clinicians in better understanding the causality of haptic sensation associated with neurological impairments and abnormal biomechanics during manipulation of a patients' limb. The system and methods may be used as a tool in which clinicians participate in the diagnosis of abnormal biomechanics. In one embodiment, assessment of abnormal biomechanics may be performed remotely. In another embodiment, the system may be used as a test bed for developing novel assessment techniques and targeted interventions.
