Erler-ZimmerLumbar Spine with Pelvis and Stand

The Erler-Zimmer lumbar spine model joins the lumbar spine and the pelvis into a movable unit. L1 to L5 and the sacrum are flexibly mounted, so that all movements in the lumbar region can be worked through. The spinal cord and emerging spinal nerves are shown, as is a dorsolateral disc herniation. The pelvis and the stand are removable.

In orthopaedics, physiotherapy and chiropractic, this lumbar spine model helps to explain segmental movements and the development of a disc herniation. It is a clear aid for counselling, teaching and patient education.

• lumbar spine L1 to L5 and sacrum, flexibly mounted
• all movements in the lumbar region can be shown
• with spinal cord and emerging spinal nerves
• depicts a dorsolateral disc herniation
• removable pelvis, supplied with stand

The flexible mounting makes this spine model particularly useful for the study of movement. Flexion, extension and lateral bending can be demonstrated on the object, while the depicted herniation shows how close the disc and nerve root sit. The stand keeps the model upright for hands-free demonstration.

At saneq you will find this lumbar spine and pelvis model as equipment for teaching and counselling.
