The Mechanical properties of Shape Memory Alloy (SMA) wires which are used as actuators in the Stewart platform rehabilitation device are experimentally investigated to estimate displacement and force developed. In order to investigate the relationship between force and deflection of the upper platform, a accelerometer (ADXL335 with 3 axis) has been mounted on the moving platform to measure the deflection angle.
