Products B10211 Human Foot Skeleton Model on Base, Life Size, Articulated, 9 x 8 x 5 Inches

Great foot model. Real life size. Moveable joints.At first, I thought it was too stiff, but as I moved the joints around, they loosened up. It's loose enough to move the foot into different positions, but not too loose that they lose their position.Only thing I noticed that I didn't like was that there is an fusion of the distal and middle phalanges on the fifth digit. (But obviously, that doesn't affect the rest of the foot; just mentioning it so you guys know what to expect.)

I work in the footwear industry and got this to help explain to people just what goes on in the foot and how footwear, footbeds and materials can play a role in the comfort or discomfort one can experience when wearing a shoe. It is also fascinating to see how many bones there are and how they combine. We are on our feet so much of the time, we should know what is going on and take care of them!

It's a good foot model. However, I wish that the hinges would move. I wasn't expecting the foot to be so stiff. I like that the piece comes off of the stand, but I was hoping for some more mobility to look at arthrokinematics of the joints. But I guess I can use my imagination for that lol.

This is another skeletal piece that I bought to commemorate yet another surgery.......crap, getting old(er) is indeed a bit of a bitch......This is a very nice piece, and was ready to display right out of the box. I unscrewed the foot from the white plastic base and then painted the base with a plastic-safe spray paint in bronze. The next morning I put the foot back in place, and voila! This sits with other such items in our front library which has a distinct steampunk/Victorian vibe to it. I use it as part of a "cabinet of curiosities" display. Looks just great! Have no idea as to the accuracy of this as a teaching model, but as a display piece it is wicked.

Great moveable foot model. Ankle and subtalar joint does not move but midfood joints do. Nice teaching/learning model.

The product I received is not the one pictured and has no articulation at the ST joint, the TC joint, or the midfoot. There are screws that hold these pieces together whereas the photo on the website appears to be held together more loosely (possibly via springs or wires instead of screws). There was no space at all in the TC joint to allow for any kind of movement.

The ankle joint is not articulated, and is held by 2 screws (one medial and one lateral), instead of a smooth rod as in the picture - hence, the ankle joint is fixed. Nice enough for display and to illustrate the anatomy of the foot and ankle, just not to demonstrate any motion.

I love the model for it isn’t stiff yet it holds together firmly enough. I use it for learning so movement of joints is important. The stand is simple, and foot slips off the stand easily enough.
