The significance of spinal models in clinical practice

Spinal models are of great significance in clinical practice.

Firstly, it can visually display the anatomical structure of the spine, including the cervical vertebrae, thoracic vertebrae, lumbar vertebrae, sacral vertebrae and related intervertebral discs, nerve roots and joints, etc., which is helpful for medical students and clinicians to deeply understand the physiological functions and pathological changes of the spine.

Secondly, in teaching and training, spinal models provide intuitive tools for the explanation of spine-related diseases, facilitating the demonstration of common lesions such as intervertebral disc protrusion, scoliosis, and vertebral compression, making it easier for learners to grasp the pathological mechanisms and diagnostic approaches.

Meanwhile, the model is also widely applied in clinical skills training, such as spinal palpation, rehabilitation operations, and paraspinal acupuncture positioning, helping trainees to repeatedly practice in a safe environment and improve the accuracy and standardization of their operations.

For patients, spinal models are also important AIDS for communication and health education. Doctors can use models to explain the condition and treatment plans, enhancing patients' understanding and compliance. Overall, spinal models have irreplaceable value in teaching, training and clinical communication.
