The Smart Skeleton: An Open-Source, Interactive Tool for Teaching Muscle Actions and Joint Movements
Pattillo, John M.
Advances in Physiology Education, v45 n2 p327-332 Jun 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 detailed description of the construction of the tool is provided, as well as the configuration and use of companion software.
