Are there curved bone tools?

Question

I am about to rig a character that will benefit from using curved bone tools, along with the standard rigid, straight bones that you can use in AE natively. Think something that bends in a curve, like a hose, or shoelace. Is there something in AE that can grant that? Is there a filter that can have a somewhat similar effects? Or would I need to use a plugin? If so, what plugin would you suggest for this?

I work on Windows 11 with a version of AE that is one version behind the latest one.

Rubberhose and other plug-ins/ scripts on AEScripts will surely help. None of this has anything to do with bones unless you really want it to like setting up complex chains of short bones to mimic elephant trunks or dinosaur. Then again even those these days are often set up with soft deformers.
