Flexible shoulder model with muscles and ligaments - can be separated into 5 parts

Anatomically speaking, the shoulder model shows part of the humerus, shoulder blade and clavicle - therefore also the shoulder joint and the acromioclavicular joint. The model also shows ligaments and the 4 muscles of the rotator cuff (also called the rotator cuff):



m. subscapularis, m. supraspinatus, m. infraspinatus and m. teres minor.



Furthermore, the model shows cartilage-covered joint surfaces in light blue, color markings for other muscles in the region (in red and darker blue) and the long biceps tendon from m. biceps brachii.

In terms of movement, the articulated model is flexible and can be separated into 5 parts. The above-mentioned muscles can thus be detached, after which the humerus can be moved freely to demonstrate movements such as abduction and rotation.

Clinically, the model is ideal for understanding impingement syndrome, rotator cuff injury and biceps tendinitis. It can also be used to understand disorders such as frozen shoulder, osteoarthritis (wear and tear) in the acromioclavicular joint and shoulder instability. It can of course also be used to understand fractures, dislocations and sprains.
