[ What is claimed:] [1.] A method for quantifying the movement impairment of a limb of a user using constraint forces, the method comprising the steps of:(a) guiding the movement of a limb along a path;(b) measuring the extent of movement of the limb along the path;(c) measuring the constraint forces applied by the limb; and(d) generating physical representations of the constraint forces applied as a function of the movement position of the limb along the path.
