I need to build a moving model of a human leg to test how the strength of knee ligaments effects knee mobility.

Dear hatlkri22,

I found a lesson on how to build a model knee. The link to the website is https://www.eie.org/eie-curriculum/reso ... model-knee . The materials for this model knee includes utility knife and brass fasteners, therefore be very careful and your parents or guardian can assist you to build this. If you are not interested in building the model using this website, this might be better for you (https://www.ehow.com/how_7146416_make-m ... joint.html).

I wish you all the best with your project.
