      My machine needed to allow X-rays to go trough the walls, to take a video of bone movement inside the foot. Therefore the machine walls were made out of plastic, for example, acrylic glass, because it is transparent on the X-ray image.

      The machine was also attached to 3 motors, which allowed to twist and flex the foot. The motors were controlled by a computer.
