Anatomy Lab Half Life Size Painted and Numbered Human Skeleton Model, 35" Anatomical Replica with Muscle Insertion and Origin Points, Removable Skull Cap & Jaw, Durable Stand for Display and Study

Everything is good about the skeleton, EXCEPT that I did not receive a number key detailing the origins and insertions.

I am a certified athletic trainer, working with college athletes. I was hoping to get a model with accurate moveable parts to show what is going on with specific injuries. This skeleton has basic hinges in the glenohumeral joint, elbow, wrist, hip, knee and ankle. (Scapula and clavicle do not move, no subtalar joint for inversion/eversion at ankle.) My biggest disappointment was to see that the hands and feet are solid pieces with little definition. The talus is not identifiable from the calcaneus or other foot bones, making the ankle and foot look like one bone. Definitely no way to show a high vs. collapsed arch (the solid piece has basically no arch.) Same problem with single piece for the hands. Nearly the whole spine is fused, SI joint is screwed together, fibula is attached to the tibia in the lower leg, and patella is attached to the femur. So, with the lack of detail I could not recommend this skeleton for a doctor's office, but would say it is okay for someone trying to learn basic anatomy (minus the bones in hands and feet.) I do like the small size for storage space. From heal to head it comes out to 32 inches.

Everything is perfect about my skeleton except for the fact that I did not receive the white base or a number key detailing the origins and insertions.

It does the job. Accuracy is not bad for the size. Just contact the seller for the pdf number chart if it's not included. They sent it within 24 hours of the email request.

It’s good for basic needs but would have liked the bones of the hands and feet to be separated, and why don’t they provide a simple sheet of paper with an index for the numbers??!!
