The Energy Benefits of the Pantograph Wing Mechanism in Flapping Flight: Case Study of a Gull [PDF]
, 2015 Bird wings generally contain a 4-bar pantograph mechanism in the forearm that enables the wrist joint to be actuated from the elbow joint thus reducing the number of wing muscles and hence reducing the wing inertia and inertial drag.

A wearable fiber-optic sensor for monitoring human elbow and wrist joint motion
Adv. Robotics, 2020 This article describes a wearable sensor for monitoring the motion of human elbow and wrist joints. The sensor converts the joint motion angle into a displacement, which is monitored using a fiber-optic sensor based on reflective light intensity ...
