A training simulator for healthcare provider training may include one or more of the following: a first body component; a second body component; and a joint located at a junction of the first body component and the second body component, where the first body component is rotatable relative to the second body component at the joint. An actuator system for the training simulator may include a linear slider-crank mechanism and an actuator for controlling the linear slider-crank mechanism, where the linear slider-crank mechanism is configured to control a torque required to move the first body component relative to the second body component at the joint, and where control of the linear slider-crank mechanism with the actuator adjusts the torque.

The disclosure is directed to a method and apparatus for measuring and assessing limb movement properties. The method includes conducting a test protocol with a position, velocity, and resistance meter (PVRM); and obtaining raw data from the PVRM and transmitting the raw data from the PVRM to an electronic device. The method includes processing the raw data to obtain processed data; and obtaining a set of parameters based on the processed data. The method includes obtaining a classification result according to a classifying algorithm based on the set of parameters; and assessing, recording, and displaying a limb movement property according to the classification result.
