In some cases the oscillation or the elbow-articulation is obtained by cords which have director intermediate attachment to the forearm, as in Condell's and Peterson's; in others the cords or bars move a toothed wheel which engages a pinion on the elbow axis and gives motion to the forearm, as in one of Koeller's. The backward motion of the stump, it will be apparent, tends to strain the anterior tendon, which is so connected to the forearm behind the elbowjoint as to extend the forearm. The forward motion of the stump strains the posterior tendon which connects to the forearm in front of the articulation, and thus flexes it as the stump is moved fo
