Claim Text:
1. A robotic system for simulating a wearable device, comprising: a) an actuation delivery mechanism suitable for fitting to a subject and capable of delivering force to a prosthetic or a physiological joint of the subject, b) an actuation source remote from the actuation delivery mechanism wherein the actuation source is configured to deliver force to the actuation delivery mechanism; c) at least one cable linking the actuation source to the actuation delivery mechanism, wherein the cable is linked to the rotary drum, and by a linkage of the cable to the second part, whereby actuation of the actuation delivery mechanism causes the drum to rotate, thereby changing the distance between the drum and linkage of the cable to the second part to thereby move the first part relative to the second part along substantially parallel major longitudinal axes of the first and second parts whereby force can be transmitted between the actuation source and the actuation delivery mechanism; d) a sensing system that detects a physiological feature of the subject; and e) a control system linked to the sensing system and the actuation source, whereby the control system modulates the actuation source and thereby modulates actuation of the prosthetic or physiological joint in response to the physiological feature sensed by the sensing system.
