The Extremities category comprises a diverse selection of anatomical models of the upper and lower limbs. These models serve as illustrative aids for training, therapy and consultation in the medical and therapeutic field. Divided into the subcategories Anatomical Models of the Upper Extremities and Anatomical Models of the Lower Extremities, they provide detailed depictions of bones, muscles, tendons, nerves and ligaments.
Typical products in this category include, for example, hand skeletons, arm skeletons with muscle markings, models of the shoulder and elbow joint as well as foot and hand models with tendon apparatus. These models are often multi-part and allow a precise examination of the complex structures of the extremities. They are available in various sizes and versions, mostly without shoulder girdle, and are characterised by a compact design with dimensions ranging from approximately 10 to 23 cm in height, width and length.
Selection and Applications of Anatomical Extremity Models
When selecting a model, the requirements regarding level of detail, size and functionality should be taken into account. Models with muscle and tendon markings are particularly suitable for explaining movement sequences and anatomical relationships. Hand skeletons or foot models on nylon offer flexible handling and are ideal for teaching or patient education.
The brand erler-zimmer is represented in this category and stands for high-quality and precisely manufactured models. Anatomical models of the extremities are indispensable tools in medical training, physiotherapy and in practices, helping to make complex anatomical structures understandable and to facilitate communication with patients.
