Take the Foot Apart, Piece by Piece

The Axis Scientific 9 Part Foot with Muscles, Ligaments, Nerves and Arteries is a life-size right foot and ankle that comes apart into nine numbered pieces, held together with magnets. Hand-painted structures in high-contrast color show the muscles, tendons, ligaments, nerves, and arteries of the foot, including the ones on the plantar surface. The model sits on a display base, and a full-color study guide identifies all 81 structures. Add it to your cart today, or request a quote for your program.

Built for Podiatry, Rehab, and Lower Limb Anatomy

About a quarter of the bones in the human body are in the feet, which is exactly what makes this region so hard to learn from a flat diagram. Lift off the calcaneal (Achilles) tendon and the Kager's fat pad behind it, then work down through the abductor hallucis, the abductor digiti minimi, and the oblique head of the adductor hallucis. Follow the flexor hallucis longus and flexor digitorum longus tendons from the ankle toward the toes, and trace the nerves and arteries across the tarsals, metatarsals, and phalanges. It supports lessons on lower limb anatomy, podiatric medicine, physical therapy, and athletic training.

From the Lecture Hall to the Treatment Room

The same model that gets a student through a practical can help a patient understand where their pain is coming from.

• Anatomy and podiatry students: Take the foot apart and put it back together until the layers stick, then check yourself against the study guide.
• Instructors: High-contrast hand-painting keeps structures readable from across a lab bench or a lecture hall.
• Podiatrists and foot and ankle clinicians: Show patients exactly which structure is involved before treatment starts.
• Physical therapists and athletic trainers: Explain Achilles and plantar injuries while walking a patient through their rehab plan.
• Medical and nursing students: Review lower limb anatomy before clinical rotations.

Detail That Holds Up to Handling

• Magnetic parts: Each removable piece snaps back into its correct anatomical position.
• Medical-grade PVC: Built to survive repeated disassembly in a classroom or clinic.
• Realistic textures and bony landmarks: Each structure is identifiable by sight and by touch.
• Display base: Keeps the foot upright between uses and ready for demonstrations.
• 3-year warranty: Axis Scientific issues replacements without requiring you to send the model back for inspection.
