Abstract:
The concept of "hand-foot" teaching method was first formed and applied in orthopedic teaching. In the class of bone and joint anatomy and diseases, the students can understand them more thoroughly and memorize them more easily by gestures of hands and feet. In learning the classification of lumbar disc herniation, the body is compared to the dural sac and the arms are compared to the nerve roots, which perfectly explains the types of lumbar disc herniation. The clinical manifestations of nerve injury in limbs were explained by the anatomical similarity of upper and lower limbs. We also explain the position variation of appendix by different directions of the thumb. In the same way, the "hand-foot" teaching method are used to explain the female reproductive system and so on. The "hand-foot" method has been widely applied in clinical teaching of many disciplines and achieved good effect in teaching practice.
