We are up to date with having our muscles on our mannequins, so that makes it a lot easier to compare them. We started off by discussing our muscle placement, first thing was that Jess was confused where to attach the Gluteus, so she looked off of Lance’s model and the book and then attached them after discussion about it with the group. Then we also had a difference of opinion of the muscle placement of the Tensor fasciae latae. Jess had hers attached further away from the knee cap and a little bit further down the femur than Lance. We looked into the book for this muscle and discussed it. It was decided that Jess’ muscle was almost in the right spot, just a fraction off, so Lance needed to make an adjustment on his mannequin to match hers. Derek missed the last class so he didn’t have the muscles done that were assigned. He noticed that on both Lance’s and Jess’ models the Gluts were attaching to the femur on a big plane instead of the crest were the two planes meet on the backside. Also he noticed that they were attached on top of the coccyx instead of on the side.
