ABSTRACT:
Apparatus and method for developing ability in the neuromuscular system of a user coupled, at coupling sites adjacent selected musculature, to anthropomorphic members of the apparatus by moving the anthropomorphic members through repetitive cycles such that during each cycle a force exerted by the user on the anthropomorphic members, along predetermined prescribed paths of movement through a prescribed range of motion at a predetermined speed of motion, with the paths of movement, the range of motion and the speed of motion unaltered by the user, and with an applied force transmitted by the anthropomorphic members to the selected musculature at the coupling sites, while varying the applied force in response to variations in the further force so as to develop an ability in the neuromuscular system associated with the selected musculature.
