Review on Enhance Your Anatomy Studies with the Numbered Skeleton Insertion Lab by Gopal Baltimore

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Neat basic structure. Missing parts for arms, legs and joints

I am a certified athletic trainer and work with collegiate athletes. I was hoping to get a model with accurate moving parts to show what happens with specific injuries. This skeleton has major joints at the shoulder, elbow, wrist, hip, knee, and ankle. (The scapula and collarbone don't move, and there is no subtalar eversion/eversion joint at the ankle.) My biggest disappointment was that the arms and legs are one piece with little definition. The talus cannot be distinguished from the heel bone or other bones in the foot, so the ankle and foot appear as one bone. There's definitely no way to show a high or stacked bow (the whole piece has virtually no bow). The same problem with the fixed part for the hands. Almost the entire spine is fused, the sacroiliac joint is screwed, the fibula is attached to the tibia in the lower leg, and the patella is attached to the femur. So I cannot recommend this skeleton for a doctor's office due to the lack of detail, but would say it is suitable for those trying to learn the basics of anatomy (excluding the bones of the arms and legs). I like the small size for storage. . From heal to head is 32 inches.

Pros
  • ANATOMICALLY CORRECT: Anatomy Lab models are tested for quality and accuracy by our medical team in the USA, so we guarantee they are anatomically correct.
Cons
  • Expensive
