Claim 12:
13. A method for exercising or analyzing a neck region of a subject, said method comprising:
instructing the subject to apply an input force to a receiving surface;
sensing the input force applied to the receiving surface over time; and
controlling movement of the receiving surface with respect to the subject based on the input force received from the subject at the receiving surface using a motor assembly,
whereby the motor assembly moves the receiving surface away from or toward the subject in a direction substantially aligned with the input force, or in a pre-determined direction, at a predetermined rate, so long as the input force remains within an allowable tolerance, until a pre-determined end position is reached, thereby exercising or analyzing function of the neck region; and
wherein the allowable tolerance comprises a lower threshold value for the input force to exceed, an upper threshold value for the input force to not exceed, an acceptable direction vector range for the input force to align within, or any combination thereof.
