ABSTRACT:
An impingement member is moved in a predetermined path and direction at a velocity and with a force independent of each other with the user applying a resistance force to the impingement member at any point along or throughout its range of movement. In the disclosed embodiment, a bar is coupled to a pair of mechanical drive assemblies powered by DC motor through a disengageable clutch. Omnidirectional forces transmitted are monitored through sensors associated with the bar during movement thereof along a path by the drive assemblies. A sensor monitors the position, speed at position, direction, and reference information of the drive assemblies. The force and motion data from the sensors may be utilized to evaluate muscle response and provide biofeedback from different loading patterns and to control loading programs.
