Dynamic Shoulder Rotator Cuff Education Model

This dynamic shoulder rotator cuff model is designed specifically to simulate shoulder dislocations and treatments but it can be used for a range of clinical education applications.

In this model, the humerus is held in place by a series of elastic cords that simulate the pull of rotator cuff muscles and ligaments. Tension on the elastics can be adjusted to simulate variability in rotator cuff integrity and support around the glenohumeral joint.

The six anchor points between the scapular assembly and head of humerus represent the major components of the rotator cuff (subscapularis, infraspinatus, supraspinatus, teres minor, and approximations of the anterior and posterior glenohumeral ligaments)

Assembly requires six M6 barrel adjustors and approximately 1m of elastic cord or strap. Additionally, you may choose to use crimps to secure the ends of the elas
