What is The Joint Impedance?

The Automatic Capability of the System to Resist an Applied Load before Voluntary Intervention Takes Place (Winters et al. 1988)

Stiffness is defined as the ratio of change in force or torque to change in length or angle

Viscosity is defined as the ratio of change in force or torque to change in velocity or angular velocity

Conclusion 1Conclusion 1 Stiffness Ellipse Modified With Learning in an Adaptive Fashion, Change in Orientation Matches The Direction of Load.

Modeling Studies Suggest Separate Commands for Shoulder and Elbow Co-Contraction.

Even with Practice, Impedance Change in Statics is Relatively Small in Magnitude. Simulations Suggest This is at a Limit Regardless of Level of Co-Contraction.

Clockwise Rotation of Stiffness Ellipse Greater Than Anti-Clockwise Rotation. Same Asymmetry in Simulations. Asymmetry Due to Geometry Since Simulated Commands Equate for Impedance of Shoulder and Elbow Muscles.

Conclusion 2Conclusion 2 Experiment 1:

Both Groups of Subjects in The Training Phase of The Experiment Learned Successfully to Modify The Orientation of The stiffness Ellipse.

Transfer of Stiffness Control Was Observed only When The Direction of Load Resulted in Torques That Were Similar to Those Experienced During Training..

Experiment 2:

Subjects in The First Two Days of Experiment Learned to Modify The Orientation of The stiffness Ellipse. The Change in Stiffness Ellipse Orientation Matched The Direction of Force Application

Higher Stiffness Ellipse Size, Longer Time Outside The Target as Well as The Orientation of The Stiffness Ellipse on The Third Days of Experiment Shows That The Stiffness Learning Result in Durable Changes in Neural Signals Underpinning Co-Contraction of Muscles.

Conclusion 3

The Result Shows Considerable Counter Clockwise Rotation of Stiffness Ellipse in Compare to The Static Stiffness Ellipse During Down to Up Reaching Movements.

The Rotation of Stiffness Ellipse During Lateral Reaching Movement Wasn’t Statistically Reliable.

Impedance Modification During Reaching Movements in Unstable Environments May Actually Have Limitations That Are Comparable to Those Observed Under Static Conditions. The Large Empirical Difference May be Due Simply to Phasic Muscle Activity During Movement.

Conclusion 4

To do a Skilled Movement, We Need a Precise Model of Environmental Dynamics Also The Optimal Impedance of Participating Joints are Necessary as well.

The Empirical Evidence Shows that The Subject’s Performance Decay With The Distance from The Location Where The Adaptation Take place. Our Simulation Argue That The Unavailability of Optimal Impedance in Neighboring Location is The Reason for The Above Phenomena.

Adaptation to The Stable And Unstable Dynamics Have Some Fundamental Deference. While The Adaptation to Stable Dynamics Seems to Happen Mostly in Model Based Controller, Adaptation to The Unstable Dynamics Achieved By Impedance Control.
