Experimental setup. Tube bases were translated and rotated precisely by manual actuators. Three-dimensional backbone points were triangulated by identifying corresponding markers along the cannula in stereo images. The vector of the applied force was measured by triangulating positions along the wire that connects the cannula tip (via the pulley) to the applied weight.
