Reconstructing a head to neck manikin with online tutorial to teach palpation skills: Experts Feedback

September 6, 2018 by

Currently, palpation skills are taught using textbook readings, online videos demonstration and occasionally students practicing on healthy student. We reviewed the literature and ascertained that a head to neck palpation manikin does not exist. The applicants, who are simulation lab experts, are collaborating with GBC Mechanical Engineering Design students to construct a soft-skin adjustable (normal and abnormal glands) head to neck manikin with 13 pressure sensors strategically located to accurately reflect actual glandular landmarks.
