Functional Of The Shoulder Joint Model

Product Code : SCL-BLE-10918

The Functional Shoulder Joint Model is an anatomical teaching model used for demonstrating shoulder-joint structure, arm movement, ligament position, and basic ball-and-socket joint mechanics. It is intended for biology labs, medical colleges, nursing institutes, physiotherapy classrooms, and anatomy training centers that need a clear visual aid for functional musculoskeletal education.

Product Description

The Functional Shoulder Joint Model from Lab Glassware Manufacturer helps teachers and trainers explain how the shoulder joint allows a wide range of upper-limb movement. It supports lessons on the humerus, scapula, clavicle, glenoid cavity, joint capsule, ligaments, rotation, abduction, adduction, flexion, and extension, depending on the confirmed model design.

This model is suitable for repeated classroom demonstration in anatomy, physiology, orthopaedic, nursing, biology, and physiotherapy education.

Key Features

• Single-unit functional shoulder joint model for anatomy and movement demonstration.
• Useful for explaining shoulder rotation, flexion, extension, abduction, and adduction.
• Supports lessons on the humerus, scapula, clavicle, ligaments, and joint stability.
• Suitable for medical, nursing, physiotherapy, biology, and health-science education.
• Helps students observe shoulder mechanics more clearly than flat textbook diagrams.
• Educational model only; not intended for diagnosis, clinical measurement, or surgical planning.
• Material, size, movement range, labels, and anatomical detailing available on confirmation.

How to Use the Functional Shoulder Joint Model

1. Place the Functional Shoulder Joint Model on a stable classroom table or demonstration bench.
2. Identify the humerus, scapula, clavicle, glenoid area, and visible ligament structures if shown.
3. Move the joint gently to demonstrate rotation, flexion, extension, abduction, and adduction if the model is movable.
4. Use the model to explain how the shoulder provides mobility while depending on ligaments and surrounding structures for stability.
5. Allow students to observe the model closely under supervision.
6. Return the model to protective storage after the teaching session.

Safety note: Handle the model gently. Do not force movement beyond its designed range, pull ligament parts, drop the model, or use it as a clinical diagnostic device.

Care & Maintenance

• Clean the model with a soft dry cloth after classroom use.
• Store it in a dry place away from heat, moisture, sharp tools, and heavy pressure.
• Keep movable joints, labels, and small anatomical parts protected from impact.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Functional Shoulder Joint Model used for?

A Functional Shoulder Joint Model is used to teach shoulder anatomy and basic joint movement. It helps students understand rotation, abduction, adduction, flexion, extension, ligament position, and joint alignment.

Is this model suitable for physiotherapy education?

Yes, it is suitable for physiotherapy classrooms, medical colleges, nursing institutes, biology labs, and anatomy training centers as an educational demonstration model.

Does the model move like a real shoulder joint?

The product name indicates a functional shoulder joint model. Confirm the exact movement range, hinge or socket mechanism, and anatomical parts shown before final publication.

What material is the Functional Shoulder Joint Model made from?

Confirm whether it is PVC, resin, plastic, metal-supported plastic, or another material before final listing.

Can students handle the model during practical classes?

Yes, students may observe and handle the model under supervision. It should be moved gently and protected from drops, forced movement, and rough handling.

Is this shoulder model a medical diagnostic device?

No. It is an educational anatomy model for teaching and demonstration, not a diagnostic device, surgical reference, or clinical measurement tool.
