All skeletons have been equipped with individual knee-bones and tongues. The joints of the arms and legs are designed in such a way that all natural movements can be traced.
Q & A
Q: Once "posed", will this skeleton support itself and hold the pose?
A: When the torso is "posed" it will hold the position, as the spine is very flexible and can hold a pose (e.g. if skeleton is bent over to touch the toes, it will hold the position), however it cannot cannot hold the arm or the leg in a posed position. There are no anatomical skeletons on the market capable of holding such a pose.
