Abstract: An implement for simulating effects of arthritis on a human hand, and method of using the implement to experience the effects of arthritis on a human hand. The implement has a first component operable for secure attachment to a human's wrist, a second component operable for secure attachment to at least one of the human's fingers, and an elastic connection between the first and second components operable to resist articulation of at least one of the wrist and the at least one finger.

Abstract: An infant simulator with a neck linkage connecting the head to the torso which includes at least (a) a longitudinally extending central shaft fixedly attached to the torso proximate the lower end of the central shaft, (b) a socket fixedly attached to the head, (c) a ball fixedly attached to the central shaft and pivotally captured within the socket for permitting pivoting of the socket relative to the central shaft as between a longitudinally aligned central rest position and a longitudinally angled position, and (d) preferably a spring coaxially positioned around the central shaft and captured between the socket and the upper end of the central shaft, whereby the spring biases the socket into the longitudinally aligned central rest position.
