Abstract
A motor control testing system has been designed to evaluate the electrophysiologic and biomechanical properties of the human ankle joint. The system consists of a motor-driven footplate which is controlled by signals from a computer. The system has been characterized using sinusoidal inputs from 3-12 Hz with ramp inputs with 10-1000 ms rise times, and with modulations of stiffness and viscosity feedback. Inputs have been applied to the manipulandum alone and to normal adult subjects.<>
