Upper limb muscles
Product code: HP0501
-
Single Side Left or right side of a region / system / organ.
The upper limb is involved in numerous activities of daily living including feeding, object manipulation, non-verbal communication, and self-care. To achieve this, numerous muscles and joints work in harmony to bring about a wide range of seamlessly combined movements. Being able to visualise the attachments of a muscle and the joint type(s) crossed helps to explain its actions and testing, and the consequence of a loss of function. This Silicone Plastinate provides unobstructed views of the muscles and tendons of the upper limb and pectoral girdle, and their layered arrangement. To enhance clarity, most fasciae and neurovasculature have been removed.
