Description
Key Features
Comprehensive Anatomy: The model is a life-sized replica of the shoulder joint, showing the upper arm bone (humerus), collarbone (clavicle), and shoulder blade (scapula). It also shows the muscles of the rotator cuff.
Detachable Muscles: A key feature is its five-part design, which includes four removable muscles of the rotator cuff. This allows for a detailed study of each muscle's role in the shoulder's movement.
Color-Coded Muscle Attachments: The model uses color-coding (red for origin, blue for insertion) to clearly show where the shoulder muscles attach, which is a great visual aid for learning.
Full Range of Motion: With the muscles detached, the model can demonstrate all the natural movements of the shoulder joint, such as lifting the arm out to the side or rotating it.
Durable and Mounted: Made from durable materials, the model comes on a stand, making it easy to display and use in educational and clinical settings.
Digital Integration: The A880 often includes access to the 3B Smart Anatomy app, which provides a virtual 3D model, quizzes, and other resources to enhance the learning experience.
Uses
Anatomy and Medical Education: This model is a primary tool in medical, physical therapy, and athletic training programs for teaching the complex anatomy of the shoulder.
Patient Education: Orthopedic surgeons, physical therapists, and chiropractors use the model to explain shoulder injuries (like a torn rotator cuff), conditions, and treatment plans to patients. The ability to remove the muscles makes it easy to point out specific problem areas.
Biomechanics and Kinesiology: The model's functional design is great for demonstrating how the shoulder moves and for teaching about proper form during exercise.
Clinical Demonstration: It is used in clinical settings to show the effects of different movements on the shoulder joint and to illustrate the rehabilitation process after an injury.
