Abstract
This paper presents a variable stiffness mechanism suitable for use in robotic rehabilitation. By inherently varying both the magnitude and direction of loading in the mechanism using a single input, a large variation in effective stiffness is achieved. Design and analysis of the variable stiffness mechanism are presented, along with an example illustrating performance capabilities.
