Key Features
Comprehensive Anatomy: This model is a lifelike representation of the elbow joint, showing the lower humerus (upper arm bone), and the upper parts of the radius and ulna (forearm bones). It clearly displays the joint's structure, ligaments, and surrounding muscles.
Removable Muscles: The model's "8-part" design allows you to remove seven of the surrounding muscles. This lets you study the different layers of musculature and how each muscle contributes to the elbow's movement and stability.
Color-Coded Attachments: The model uses a color-coding system to mark where muscles attach: red for the origin and blue for the insertion. This is a highly effective visual aid for students.
Functional Movement: The model can demonstrate the elbow's full range of motion, including bending and straightening. This functional aspect helps users understand the joint's biomechanics in a hands-on way.
Durable Construction: Made from high-quality, durable materials, the model is built to withstand repeated handling in a classroom or clinical setting.
Digital Integration: The A883 model often includes access to the 3B Smart Anatomy app. This digital resource offers a virtual 3D model, quizzes, and other learning materials to complement the physical model.
Uses
Medical and Anatomy Education: This model is a key teaching tool in medical schools, physical therapy programs, and athletic training courses. It helps students learn the complex anatomy of the elbow, which is a hinge joint.
Patient Education: Doctors and physical therapists use the model to explain elbow injuries (like tennis elbow or a ligament tear) and treatment plans to patients in a clear, visual manner.
Biomechanics and Kinesiology: The model is excellent for demonstrating the biomechanics of elbow movement and for teaching proper form for exercises and physical activities to prevent injury.
Clinical Demonstration: In clinical settings, it's used to show the effects of different movements on the elbow joint and to illustrate the rehabilitation process after an injury or surgery.
