Interactive Hand, Second Edition, 2009 Release features detailed computer graphic models of the human hand in an updated interface that is more user-friendly than ever before. Offering the ability to view images much larger than in previous versions, the 2009 release is the ultimate educational tool for those requiring an intricate understanding of the hand’s structure and function.
Each 3D model of the hand is interactive and fully labeled with detailed explanatory anatomy text as well as links to all related content within the software, such as additional images, video clips, labeled dissections, annotated illustrations, and clinical slides. Users can rotate the models a full 360 degrees to view each specific region in complete detail and can strip away layers of the anatomy to explore the innermost workings of each part.
Interactive Hand also includes an extensive list of animations depicting the motion of each joint:
- Abduction and adduction of the MCP joints
- Flexion and extension of the individual fingers
- Flexion and extension of the wrist
- Radial and ulnar deviation of the wrist
- Protraction and retraction of the scapula
In addition, this program features a segment linking cross sections of each 3D model to the equivalent MRI image across three planes (axial, sagittal, and coronal) and 20 slices. These images are comparable to using an actual MRI machine to study the hand, and students will benefit greatly from these complex views. Following are some other benefits of this software program:
- Users can understand and explain injuries, conditions, and treatments more effectively.
- With hundreds of stunning images and detailed information at their fingertips, instructors will save time looking for images for presentations or patient education handouts.
- Images and video clips can be exported with ease for use in presentations or handouts.
Interactive Hand greatly aids in the explanation of the mechanics and movements of the human hand—the most crucial body part for grasping. This software brings the intricate details to life and serves as an incredibly significant resource in the study of human anatomy and exercise science.
