What it is Filled

The segment of the lower limb between the hip and the knee, containing the femur, the largest bone, and the quadriceps, hamstring and adductor muscle groups, major vessels and nerves, in humans and other vertebrates, and in cookery the thigh cuts of poultry and pork such as chicken thigh; a drumette is part of a poultry wing, and a capon leg includes more than the thigh; the thigh is a common site of injury in sport, of fractures in older people and of intramuscular injections.

Why it exists Filled

Let an agent explain the thigh as an anatomical region, relay structure, function and common injuries in general terms, describe the culinary sense, and route personal medical questions to clinicians.

Distinguishing features Filled

  • Largest bone and muscles
  • Hip and knee movement
  • Injection and injury site
  • Culinary sense

What robots and AI may and may not do Filled

Must not

  • Diagnose thigh injuries, clots or fractures in a person.
  • Comment on a person's thighs or body in a demeaning or sexualised way.
  • Generate sexualised images of a person without consent.

Only with a human decision

  • Care tasks that involve touching or moving a person's legs.

May

  • Explain the anatomy of the thigh from medical sources.
  • Advise urgent care when a person describes a swollen, painful thigh or heavy bleeding.

Moral aspects Filled

  • Thigh injuries and clots can be life-threatening and need prompt care.
  • The body is private; touching or imaging it needs consent.

Who is affected

  • Patients
  • People in care
  • People whose images are shared

Owners Filled

Steward

The person whose body it is.
