The IBEX SCIENCES Functional Foot Joint Model with Ligaments is a medical-grade, 1:1 life-size replica designed to demonstrate the mechanical range of motion and skeletal structures of the human foot and ankle joints. It is available as a standalone desktop model mounted on a sturdy display base or integrated into their advanced multi-part lower limb assemblies. [1, 2, 3, 4]
Detailed Anatomy & Bone Groups Represented
- Ankle & Lower Leg Extensions: Includes the distal sections of the tibia (shinbone) and fibula, demonstrating the formation of the ankle mortise joint. [1]
- Tarsal Bones (Ankle & Heel): Explicitly features the 7 tarsal bones—including the large weight-bearing calcaneus (heel bone), the talus (which forms the main ankle pivot), the navicular, the cuboid, and the three distinct cuneiform bones.
- Metatarsals (Instep): Showcases the 5 long metatarsal bones structuring the midfoot and forming the foundational architecture of the foot arches.
- Phalanges (Toes): Accurately replicates the 14 individual toe bones, showing the two-joint structure of the big toe and the three-joint structures of the remaining digits.
Technical & Material Specifications
- Flexible Artificial Ligaments: Formulated with tough, elastic bands that mimic the structural paths of major connective tissues (such as the tibiofibular and talofibular ligaments) to guide realistic joint tracking during movement. [1]
- Wire-Bound Articulation: The bones are securely bundled with durable orthopedic wire, allowing educators and podiatrists to safely showcase natural plantarflextion, dorsiflexion, inversion, and eversion movements. [1]
- Medical Grade PVC Mold: Cast directly from natural human adult specimens out of clean, odorless, and impact-resistant PVC polymer to ensure true-to-life surface textures and bony landmarks. [1]
