Description
Key Features:
Comprehensive Anatomy: The model is an accurate representation of the foot skeleton, including the bones of the foot, the lower portions of the tibia and fibula, and the interosseous membrane that connects them.
Realistic Ligaments and Tendons: A key feature of this model is the inclusion of numerous important ligaments and tendons, such as the Achilles tendon and the peroneus longus tendon. All the anatomically significant ligaments and tendons are shown, large and small, providing a realistic and complete picture of the ankle and foot.
Durable Construction: Made from high-quality, durable materials, the model is built to withstand repeated handling in a classroom or clinical setting. It is often mounted on a stand for stability and easy display.
Digital Integration: The model includes access to the 3B Smart Anatomy app. This digital platform provides a virtual 3D model, quizzes, and educational courses that complement the physical model, enhancing the overall learning experience.
Articulated Movement: While not a functional joint model in the sense of demonstrating a full range of motion, the model may have some degree of flexibility to illustrate how the ligaments and tendons support the bones.
Uses:
Medical and Anatomy Education: This model is a primary teaching tool in medical schools, physical therapy programs, and podiatry schools. It helps students understand the complex structure of the foot and ankle, which is essential for diagnosing and treating injuries.
Patient Education: Orthopedic surgeons, podiatrists, and physical therapists use the model to explain foot and ankle injuries (such as a sprain or a torn ligament), conditions (like plantar fasciitis), and surgical procedures to patients in a clear, visual manner.
Biomechanics and Kinesiology: The model is an excellent tool for demonstrating the biomechanics of the foot and ankle, helping to teach about proper gait and the role of ligaments and tendons in providing stability.
Rehabilitation: In clinical settings, it is used to illustrate the rehabilitation process after an injury, helping patients understand which structures have been affected and how they will be healed.
