GPI Anatomicals - Muscled Shoulder Model, Right Shoulder Joint with Muscles Model for Human Anatomy, Physiology Education, Anatomy Model for Doctor's Office and Classrooms, Medical Learning Resources

Great learning tool although there is some intrinsic detail of the shoulder that is not included.

I use these just for quick educational purposes with clients that just need an idea of what I’m thinking. They are not bad for the price. Not movable. They do have a strong chemical smell that’ last for at least a few months.

Im an in-home Dr. of Physical Therapy so I travel to patient homes and don't have too much room. These little jewels are perfect to explain joint and muscle pathology to my patients. Many of them say, "I wish my surgeon would have explained this to me." The joints move more than I expected and are anatomically correct. We had larger versions in the clinic that had room for every muscle origin and insertion and had greater range with removable parts. If you need to display full ROM and want to dis-articulate you may want to buy the bigger ones. These do the job for my practice. I would buy them again!! See the glenohumeral joint on shoulder model does disarticulate to reveal humeral head and tuberosities. ONE PROBLEM: they fit in a small box and sometimes I misplace them as they are small!

Damaged information card. Spoke with Adam from company. They are sending a new information card today. Great customer service.

The shoulder model's clavicle is oriented 90 degrees perpendicular to its correct anatomical position. While an interesting way to attach the distal clavicle to the acromial process, it is incorrect. The remainder of the shoulder model appears to correctly portray the general anatomy on the joints.

The box has two elbows and no hip. Totally ruined the experience of gift giving.

This model is great in that it shows how certain pelvic muscles are attached to the bone. We have leg models and cadavers that we use to ID these muscles, but none of these show bone in this area. It will be super useful for asking my students about the iliacus, gluteus minimus, piriformis, superior gemellus, and obturator internus. I only have two complaints : 1. The inferior gemellus should really be more visible than it is. Its so tucked under the obturator internus that you can barely see it. I would love for more of it to show so I could easily stick a label on it for my students during exams, but I'll just have to use other models for this one. 2. Such a missed opportunity to show the quadratus femoris! There is a perfect spot for it, and I really wish it were there because that is another that would be nice about to ask them from this perspective.

I got a different one that did not show the muscles. This is the one my doctor had (I brought this one up for him to mark on it where my tear was) Cost was much more but it is MY shoulder so I wanted to know. Great.
