Plane Jane
Anatomical Plane Model |
|
The
concept of Cardinal Planes divides the human body into
equal halves in three directions and is used to define how
the body moves through space. It also provides the
basis for movement terminology such as "flexion and
extension" at the body joints.
Developed by a college professor, Plane Jane has been used to teach
the concept of Cardinal Planes to college level students for
more than fifteen. Student have found it to be
extremely helpful to the learning process and lots of fun as
well.
Plane Jane is fully three-dimensional one-quarter size human figure
standing in the "Anatomical Position" exhibiting the
three Cardinal Planes. Each plane is color-coded and
detachable and can be demonstrated independently or in any
combination with other planes. Jane comes with a set
of three interchangeable arms, each color coded to match one
of the planes and drilled to accommodate a plastic rod which
represents the axis of rotation. With the axis rod
inserted through the arm and into the model, the arm will
move parallel to its plane, defining movements within that
plane. |

A handy foam-lined
storage compartment built into Jane's base conveniently
stows arms and axis rods. |
