Shoulder model with muscles and ligaments incl. list with Latin names

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 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 some of the ligaments of the shoulder and part of the long biceps tendon from m. biceps brachii.

In terms of movement, the joint model is not flexible and therefore cannot be used to demonstrate the various movements in the shoulder. The mentioned muscles cannot be removed either.

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.
