Didactic Vertebral Column with Pelvis

The didactic vertebral column model with pelvis is characterized by its color-coded illustration of the different types of vertebrae, while also clearly demonstrating the structure of the human spinal column. Due to the detailed representation of the spinal column structure, this vertebral column model can be used as teaching material in universities and physiotherapy schools. However, the anatomical model is also used for patient education in doctor’s surgeries and physiotherapy practices.
