Description

Key Features

  • Comprehensive Anatomy: This model is a realistic, life-sized representation of the human knee joint, including the lower thigh bone (femur), shin bone (tibia), and part of the smaller calf bone (fibula). It also includes the meniscus and the kneecap (patella) with its tendon.

  • Removable Musculature: The model features removable muscles of the knee region. These can be detached to allow for a deeper study of the anatomy and how the muscles, bones, and ligaments work together.

  • Color-Coded Attachments: A color-coding system is used to clearly mark the points where the muscles originate (in red) and insert (in blue) on the bones. This is a very helpful visual aid for students.

  • Articulated Movement: The model can demonstrate the key movements of the knee, such as bending and straightening, which provides a functional understanding of the joint.

  • Durable Construction: Made from high-quality, durable materials, the model is built to withstand frequent use in a classroom or clinic.

  • Digital Integration: The A882 model typically comes with access to the 3B Smart Anatomy app. This digital resource includes a virtual 3D model, quizzes, and educational courses that complement the physical model.


Uses

  • Medical and Anatomy Education: This model is a core tool in medical schools, physical therapy, and athletic training programs for teaching the complex anatomy of the knee, the largest joint in the body.

  • Patient Education: Doctors and physical therapists use the model to explain knee injuries (like a meniscal or ACL tear) and treatment plans to patients in a clear, visual way.

  • Biomechanics and Kinesiology: The model is excellent for demonstrating how the knee moves and for teaching proper form during exercise and physical activities to prevent injuries.

  • Clinical Demonstration: In clinical settings, it is used to show the effects of different movements on the knee joint and to explain the rehabilitation process after an injury or surgery.
