Claim 10:
11. A method for restricting a range of motion of a multi-axial hinge having a main link and a secondary link pivotally connected between a first end member and a second end member, comprising:
positioning a first stop component on a forward side of the secondary link;
positioning a second stop component on a rearward side of the secondary link;
connecting the first stop component and the second stop component together using one or more fasteners so that the first stop component and the second stop component surround the secondary link;
