Explore Joint and Autoimmune Topics Through 3D Animation

The Rheumatology library brings together 3D animations on arthritis, autoimmune disease, bone health and soft-tissue pain. Videos are organised by condition, so you can find a topic without searching through everything.

Inflammatory and autoimmune videos explain rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, psoriatic arthritis, sacroiliac joint arthritis, Sjogren's syndrome and myasthenia gravis. Degenerative and metabolic joint videos cover osteoarthritis, hip arthritis, 1st CMC joint arthritis, gout, avascular necrosis and osteoporosis.

Soft-tissue and pain videos explain fibromyalgia, myofascial pain syndrome, frozen shoulder, tennis elbow, golfer's elbow, De Quervain's tenosynovitis, trigger finger, plantar fasciitis, costochondritis, Baker's cyst, olecranon bursitis and pes anserine bursitis. For related topics, see Orthopaedic/Spine, Pain Management, Physiotherapy and Dermatology.

How Clinics Use the Library in Practice

Rheumatic conditions are often long-term, and patients need to understand them to follow a treatment plan. At diagnosis, the rheumatoid arthritis, gout or ankylosing spondylitis videos can show what is happening in the joint or spine and why the symptoms occur. For patients with psoriasis who develop joint pain, the psoriatic arthritis video can help explain the link between skin and joints.

Follow-up visits can use the osteoarthritis, osteoporosis and fibromyalgia videos to support conversations about long-term care. The soft-tissue videos, such as frozen shoulder, tennis elbow and plantar fasciitis, are useful for common clinic complaints. Clinics can show the videos on the website or in the MedXplain app during counselling.

Why Visual Explanations Help

Joint inflammation, cartilage wear and tendon pain happen out of sight, and patients often struggle to connect the symptoms they feel with what is happening in the body. A 3D animation shows the joint or soft tissue, which makes the explanation easier to follow.

Clear visuals can also help patients and families understand why a long-term condition needs regular review. MedXplain is built on ERemedium's mission to improve health literacy, helping doctors explain conditions so that patients can understand them.

Who Can Use These Animations?

Rheumatologists, physicians, orthopaedic and pain clinics and physiotherapy teams can use the animations during consultations to explain a diagnosis visually. Patients and caregivers can understand what is happening in the joint, which can make a long-term condition easier to talk about.

Students, trainees and other healthcare learners can use the library as a visual reference for rheumatology topics, from degenerative arthritis to autoimmune disease.
