It is essential to have an accurate representation of a robotic rehabilitation device in the form of a system model in order to design a robust controller for it. This paper presents mathematical modelling and validation through simulation and experimentation of the 1-DOF Finger Extensor rehabilitation machine. The machine’s design is based on an iris mechanism, built specifically for training open and close movements of the hand. The goal of this research is to provide an accurate model for the Finger Extensor by taking into consideration various factors affecting its dynamics and to present an experimental validation of the devised model. Dynamic system modelling of the machine is performed using Lagrangian formulation and the involved physical parameters are obtained experimentally. To validate the developed model and demonstrate its effectiveness, hardware-in-the-loop experiments are conducted in the Simulink-MATLAB environment. Mean absolute error between the simulated and experimental response is 1.38° and the relative error is 1.13%. The results obtained are found to be within the human motion resolution limits of 5 mm or 5º and exhibit suitability of the model for application in robotic rehabilitation systems. The model accurately replicates the actual behavior of the machine and is suitable for use in controller design.
