Erler-Zimmer Skeletons
All Erler-Zimmer skeletons are castings of natural skeletons of highest
quality and authenticity. The models in resistant synthetic material
show all the anatomical details, structures, fissures, foramina
and processes. All bones are manufactured individually and have
been carefully assembled. Hands and feet are mounted flexibly on
wire. Arms, legs and the skull can be removed easily and partially
disassembled. The 5-leg castor-mounted stand provides the model
with a consistently good support and allows simple transport from one Sliding joints
room to another. Shoulder and hip are mounted without interfering metal parts and offer the
possibility of demonstrating gliding movements in the joint in addition to rotational
movements. The joint surfaces slide directly against one another and make
demonstration of all gliding and traction capabilities according to manual principles
and biomechanics possible for the first time.

Movable shoulder blades
The shoulder blades are mounted in such a way that
they are capable of simultaneous motion with arm
movements. Consequently, the natural movement
process can be illustrated.

Idealized skull
The three part skull was digitalized and modified
to correspond with the standard anatomy. The
size corresponds to European standard size,
all important structures, fissures, foramen
and processes are represented. The skull
can be dismantled into base, lower jaw
and skull cap. The skull can is adjusted
to the base with metal pins and held
with magnets. Due to this technology
no pin can break and there will be Flexible ankle joint
