In terms of movement, the model is particularly flexible in the shoulder and hip joints, which is unusual for mini skeletons and other skeletons in this low price range. In other joints, the possibilities of movement are limited because the joints are held together by metal and/ plastic. For example, rotation in the knee joints cannot be demonstrated, although both flexion and extension (bending and stretching) are possible.
As mentioned in the description of the anatomy, the hands and feet are each molded in one piece. Therefore, it is not at all possible to move any of the many joints in these regions. However, the wrist is movable.
The skull has a removable skull cap so that the skull base can be seen from above. many details are visible.
The lower jaw is fully movable, as it is mounted with a small spring in the oral cavity.
The shoulder joint is held together by an elastic band. All natural movements in the joint can be demonstrated, but not to the full extent due to the length of the elastic. For example, the arm cannot be lifted completely into the air without hitting the acromion, but this can be circumvented by loosening the elastic (as a starting point, the arm can only be abducted 90 degrees, which corresponds to "shoulder height").
The hip joint is also held together by an elastic band. Unlike the shoulder joint, all natural movements can be demonstrated in full. Furthermore, the femoral head can be easily and quickly removed completely.
The elbow joint is movable, just as rotation of the radius is possible.
the ankle joint is not movable.
