Functional Frank Skeleton Model on Hanging Stand

This fully functional skeleton model features a unique flexible assembly of all joints, allowing individual joints to move in a nearly lifelike way. The skeleton allows for demonstration of complex motions of the upper extremity, e.g. the shoulder blade rotation when the arms are raised. Even the position of the radial and ulnar bones during inward and outward rotation of the lower arm can be graphically demonstrated.

The life-size functional skeleton comes mounted on a hanging stand and the skeleton's flexible spine allows for natural movement (lateral inclination, flexion and extension, rotation). Even the restricted mobility of the iliosacral joint and the sacrococcygeal joint can be demonstrated. Once the Frank skeleton has been put into a postural position, the skeleton model is able to hold the position itself. A great functional human skeleton model ideal for physiotherapists or other professionals requiring very detailed demonstration of human movement.

This skeleton has been developed with the assistance of John Chester M.D. (consultant at the Feldenkrais Guild N.A.)

Features of the functional human skeleton "Frank" include:

• Naturally rotating shoulder blades
• Inward and outward rotation of radial and ulnar bones
• Bones of the hand are wire mounted to show natural position
• Extend and flex the knee joint to show how the patella moves
• Flexibly mounted foot bones show natural mobility
• 3-part assembled skull
• Individually placed teeth
• Almost realistic weight of the approx. 200 bones
• Removable limbs
• Made of durable, unbreakable plastic
• Supplied with table metal hanging stand with 5 casters and transparent dust cover

A superb skeleton for when very detailed joint articulation is required, for university-level education or professional use.
