A Hip Joint Model is an anatomically accurate replica of the human hip joint, designed to demonstrate the structure, function, and movement of the joint where the femur meets the pelvis. It is widely used in medical, physiotherapy, and sports science education, as well as in clinical settings for patient education.
Key Features:
Detailed Bone Structure: Includes the proximal femur and part of the pelvic bone (typically the acetabulum), accurately representing the ball-and-socket joint.
Articulated Joint: Shows realistic joint movement including flexion, extension, rotation, and abduction, ideal for teaching joint mechanics.
Ligaments (Optional): Some models feature flexible or colored ligament attachments (such as the iliofemoral, ischiofemoral, and pubofemoral ligaments) to demonstrate joint stabilization.
Durable Material: Constructed from high-quality PVC or synthetic resin for durability and frequent handling.
Mounted Base: Often includes a stand for stability and easy demonstration during instruction or consultation.
