A PID-based posture controller is implemented to ensure accurate control during training, while a reconfigurable mechanism allows adjustment of motion parameters to accommodate individual physiological differences. Preliminary testing with a healthy participant demonstrated successful execution of both single-axis and multiaxial training protocols.
