The Smart Skeleton: An Open-Source, Interactive Tool for Teaching Muscle Actions and Joint Movements
Pattillo, John M. – Advances in Physiology Education, 2021
This paper describes the design, construction, and use of an open-source hardware and software tool intended to help Anatomy and Physiology students test their knowledge of muscle actions and joint movements. Orientation sensors are attached to a model skeleton to turn the skeleton into an interactive, physical model for teaching limb movements. A…

Mayerhofer, Patrick; Carter, James; Donelan, J. Maxwell – Advances in Physiology Education, 2022
To help educators deliver their physiology laboratory courses remotely, we developed an inexpensive, customizable hardware kit along with freely available teaching resources. We based the course design on four principles that should allow students to conduct insightful experiments on different physiological systems. First, the experimental setup…
