Kinematic Chain

A kinematic chain is formed out of multiple kinematic pairings all joined together in a line. A kinematic pairing occurs when two rigid body objects, either physical or virtual, are jointed around a shared pivot point. Good examples include prosthetic arm joints and avatar pieces.

Thus, a kinematic chain appears as a jointed snake, with each piece joined to one or two others. They may or may not be part of a larger hierarchical model.
