Clinical practice of hand joint models

Hand joint models have significant teaching and application value in clinical practice and are one of the commonly used auxiliary tools by medical students, rehabilitation therapists and surgeons. This model is designed based on the principles of human anatomy, truly reproducing the structural features of the wrist joint, metacarpophalangeal joint, interphalangeal joint and other parts, including key details such as the articular surface, ligament and tendon course. Its most prominent feature is its flexibility in movement. By simulating the flexion, extension, rotation and abduction movements of real joints, it helps learners intuitively understand the complex mechanisms of hand movement.

In clinical practice teaching, hand joint models can be used for training in orthopedics, rehabilitation and sports medicine fields. Medical students can use models to observe the anatomical structure of hand joints and combine imaging data to deepen their understanding of joint injuries and diseases. Rehabilitation therapists often use models for functional demonstrations to help patients understand the principles of hand movement, thereby enabling them to cooperate more actively with rehabilitation training. In addition, when surgeons conduct training for surgeries such as joint replacement and ligament repair, they often carry out preoperative drills through models to enhance the accuracy and proficiency of their operations.

During the application process, it is necessary to pay attention to standardized operation to avoid excessive bending or applying force that may damage the model. After use, it should be cleaned in time and stored properly to maintain long-term teaching effect. Overall, hand joint models not only play a significant role in medical education but also provide intuitive and reliable support in clinical rehabilitation and scientific research.
