Design and development of a robotic system for clinical assessment of motor deficits

This paper describes the design of a custom robotic system that will be used for clinical evaluation of upper-limb motor performance. The system consists of a mechatronic component that is central to capturing of motor inputs, and a software component that constitutes various user interface applications. The focus of this paper is to elaborate the design of the mechatronic component and how it integrates with other elements of the system.
