Knee Construction Project (36 Pts)

Using your anatomical knowledge and a bit of creativity, you and a partner will create a 3-D model or replica of the knee joint. The bones and structures around the joint must be accurate. You can use ANY material you wish (except perishable food). Be creative 

You are encouraged to use as many resources as possible to assist you in this assignment, including Textbooks credible internet sources, as well as actual replications of joints that are professionally constructed.

Along with the physical construction of the structure, you must write a 2-page injury report for an injury of the knee.

Joint structure must:

-Include all bones, ligaments, and cartilage of the knee

-Be life size

-Must be in tact – not falling apart

-Contain labels for structures

(You may use a color-coded legend in areas where it is too small to label)

-Extra credit if the joint can actually move

The injury report must include:

-Causes

-Symptoms

-First aid and treatment

-Rehabilitation and exercises

-Prevention

Joint Construction – 24 pts

Injury Report – 12 pts
