Erler-Zimmer Spinal Disc Degeneration Model

The Erler-Zimmer Spinal Disc Degeneration Model can be used to develop a comprehensive understanding of healthy vs unhealthy vertebrae. For those planning to work with elderly patients, or those studying to become osteologists or physical therapists, this model is a fantastic training and study tool. The models are magnetically mounted onto a plexiglass base, and are flexible to enable demonstrations of movement.

What's Included?

• 4 x Vertebrae Pairs
• 1 x Plexiglass Base

What Is the Purpose of This Spinal Disc Model?

This spinal disc anatomy model is a quality tool for providing training on and enhancing the study of the pathology of various conditions affecting the vertebrae. This model, displaying four vertebrae pairs, offers a visual and hands-on way to deepen understanding of degenerative disc disease, and conditions affecting the vertebrae.

Degenerative disc disease refers to the natural wearing down of spinal discs, which is the rubbery, shock-absorbing cushion between the vertebrae, that occurs naturally over time. 

Who Can Use the Spinal Vertebrae Model?

The Erler-Zimmer Spinal Model is the perfect training tool for those entering medical and healthcare fields. It can also be a fantastic aid for patient education. Those who may benefit from use of or training with this anatomy model include:

• Doctors, Nurses, and Paramedics
• General Practitioners
• Carers for the elderly
• Osteologists
• Orthopaedic Doctors
• Anatomists
• Physiologists
• Physical Therapists (Rehabilitation Centres)
