Mechanical impedance modeling of human arm: a survey
Human arm mechanical impedance plays a vital role in describing motion ability of the upper limb. One of the impedance parameters is stiffness which is defined as the ratio of an applied force to the measured deformation of the muscle.

| Summary: | Human arm mechanical impedance plays a vital role in describing motion ability of the
upper limb. One of the impedance parameters is stiffness which is defined as the ratio of an applied
force to the measured deformation of the muscle. The arm mechanical impedance modeling is
useful in order to develop a better controller for system that interacts with human as such an
automated robot-assisted platform for automated rehabilitation training. The aim of the survey is to
summarize the existing mechanical impedance models of human upper limb so to justify the need
to have an improved version of the arm model in order to facilitate the development of better
controller of such systems with ever increase in complexity. In particular, the paper will address the
following issue: Human motor control and motor learning, constant and variable impedance
models, methods for measuring mechanical impedance and mechanical impedance modeling
techniques. |
