Paired bones are individually secured in an anatomically relevant manner onto independent, parallel positioned platforms, and configured into motorized models for the purpose of teaching and assessing clinicians' ability to identify and compare the relative positions of bony landmarks within the coronal and sagittal planes. One platform can be powered by two motors to generate precise landmark asymmetries, moving the platforms in the coronal plane and around a horizontal axis. As the platform shears upward or rotates forward, the landmarks on the bone attached to that platform can be moved superiorly compared to the other side. A central computer can instruct the motors of a plurality of models to move predetermined amounts via a two-way wireless communications link. The model can communicate back to the computer once the movement is completed, assuring a high level of precision in obtaining the intended positional asymmetry or informing the user that the move exceeds the limits of the model.
