BACKGROUND
“Anatomy teaching methods have evolved as the medical curriculum has modernized. Traditional methods of dissection, prosecution, tutorials and lectures are now supplemented by anatomical models. ”
In spite of advances, there remained a need for a dynamic human model that may be used for understanding, studying and mastering the structure of the human body.
In addition, there remained a need for a dynamic model that may be used to teach how muscles attach to bone to show the point of origin and insertion, how muscles contract and stretch, and how muscles interact with one another including muscle function and innervations.
There also remained a need for a dynamic human model that may be used to study and learn the human body's dermatome map, and what areas of the skin are supplied by a specific nerve.
Furthermore, there remained a need for a dynamic human model that simulates the actual physiological movement of each appendage and joint of the human body.
