Abstract
A simulated limb for training an evaluator to assess a resistive characteristic of an animal. The limb includes a first member simulating a first portion of the animal, and a second member simulating a second portion of the animal rotatably connected to the first member. The limb also includes a resistance element having a variable resistance that varies an amount of torque required to rotate the second member relative to the first member. A method for training an evaluator to assess a resistive characteristic using a simulated limb includes adjusting the resistance of the resistance element over a range of rotation thereby providing a resistance profile for the simulated limb mimicking the resistive characteristic of the animal. A method for simulating a resistive characteristic of an animal using a simulated limb includes applying a resistance profile to the simulated limb mimicking spasticity or muscle strength over a range of rotation.
