Abstract
The modeling of the human body is not an easy task. Designers of artificial organs and prosthetic devices have the unenviable goal of attempting to duplicate (or at least satisfactorily approximate) the motion and function of the greatest and most powerful machine on the face of the earth. Any new tool that could be used in such design would be valuable and useful. Compliant mechanism theory and design is one such tool.
