Functional Formularies
Description
Realistic Anatomy: This is a life-sized replica of a right hip joint, including the upper part of the thigh bone (femur) and the right half of the pelvis. The joint surfaces are highlighted in blue for easy viewing.
Functional Movement: The model can demonstrate the full range of motion of the hip, including moving the leg away from the body (abduction), bringing it back toward the body (adduction), and bending and straightening the hip.
Anatomical Ligaments: It includes simulated, flexible ligaments that show how these natural structures support and limit the movement of the hip joint.
Durable and Mounted: The model is made from durable materials and is mounted on a sturdy stand, which makes it easy to display and use for demonstrations.
Enhanced Learning: The model provides a hands-on learning experience that helps students in medical and physical therapy programs understand the complex mechanics of the hip joint better than with just a book.
Effective Patient Communication: Doctors and physical therapists can use the model to clearly explain hip conditions, injuries, or surgical procedures to patients. This helps patients visualize their diagnosis and treatment.
Versatile Training Tool: It's a great resource for a wide range of educational settings, from medical schools and nursing programs to physical therapy and athletic training programs.
Digital Integration: The model often comes with access to the 3B Smart Anatomy app, which provides a virtual 3D model, quizzes, and other learning resources to complement the physical model.
