The Shoulder, Up Close and In Motion

The Axis Scientific Human Shoulder Joint with Functional Ligaments Anatomy Model is a life-size shoulder cast from real human bone specimens, with eight flexible ligaments that let the joint move. The scapula, clavicle, and upper humerus show the bony landmarks and textures students need to learn, while the ligaments show how the joint holds together. A full-color product manual with real photographs of the model identifies all 18 structures. Add it to your cart today, or request a quote for your classroom.

Built for the Most Mobile Joint in the Body

Because it's the body's most mobile joint, the shoulder is also one of the hardest to picture in motion. This model lets you demonstrate abduction, flexion, and rotation while tracing how the head of the humerus sits in the shallow glenoid cavity of the scapula. Locate the acromion and coracoid process, follow the clavicle to the acromioclavicular joint, and see how the eight ligaments stabilize a joint built for range of motion. It's a clear way to explain common injuries like dislocations and separations to students or patients.

One Shoulder, Many Explanations

Small enough for a desk and detailed enough for a clinic, this model works wherever the shoulder comes up.

• Students: Work through the product manual on your own and quiz yourself on all 18 structures before practicals.
• Anatomy instructors: Pass it around lab groups so every student can see the joint from every angle.
• Physical and occupational therapists: Show patients which structures are involved in their injury and how rehab supports them.
• Orthopedic and sports medicine professionals: Walk patients and athletes through dislocations and separations with the joint right in front of them.
• Medical offices: Keep it on display so the model is ready whenever a patient conversation calls for it.

Detail You Can See and Feel

• Nearly invisible hardware: Clear plastic screws attach each ligament, so nothing blocks your view of the joint.
• Moderate flexibility: Bends enough to demonstrate movement and common stressors while holding its shape.
• Textured bone surfaces: Realistic textures make each bony landmark easy to identify by sight and touch.
• Secure base: The model comes mounted upright for study and display.
• 3-year warranty: Axis Scientific issues replacements without requiring you to send the model back for inspection.
