Anatomical models of the lower extremities are indispensable aids in medical training, physiotherapy and patient education. They provide a clear depiction of the complex structures of the foot, knee and hip, and enable a better understanding of muscles, tendons, bones and ligaments. These models are often constructed in several parts to show individual components in detail, such as the foot skeleton with tendon apparatus or the knee joint with ligaments.
The models vary in size and weight, and are typically compact and easy to handle, which facilitates their use in the practice or in teaching. They are made from robust material and offer a realistic reproduction of the anatomy, making them suitable for nursing exercises and demonstrations as well. Some models additionally show specific conditions such as osteoporosis of the thigh, opening up further learning opportunities.
