Comparison of Simulated Ovary Palpation Training Over Different Skill Levels
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper describes an initial attempt to compare performance levels of users of different skill levels on the Glasgow Horse Ovary Palpation Simulator (HOPS). Experimental participants were asked to identify the position and size of follicles on the surface of virtual horse ovaries. The two experimental groups were made up of expert and novice users. Experienced large animal veterinarians were chosen as expert users, and second year veterinary students were chosen as novice users. The initial results of the study suggest that novice users perform better than expected. Some possible reasons for this are discussed.

متن کاملThe Effect of Prior Experience on Acquiring Skill a Simulated Inertial Control Task
The performance of test pilots and college student subjects in acquiring the skill o control the attitude of a simulated space vehicle was compared. The purpose of the comparison was to investigate transfer of training to this type of task as a function of prior pilot experience and determine the degree to which one may generalize from students to pilots. There was also a further breakdown of t...
متن کاملHaptic Simulator for Liver Diagnostics through Palpation
Mechanical properties of biological tissue for both histological and pathological considerations are often required in disease diagnostics. Such properties can be simulated and explored with haptic technology. Development of cost effective haptic-based simulators and their introduction in the minimally invasive surgery learning cycle is still in its infancy. Receiving pre-training in a core set...
متن کاملEvaluating Training Effects of HOPS
This paper describes a study to evaluate the Horse Ovary Palpation Simulator. In order to examine training effects, a comparison was made between the performance on specimen ovaries of a group of students trained using the simulator, with a group of students trained using traditional anatomy lab methods. Results showed no significant performance differences between the groups. Similar mean scor...
متن کاملA simulated passive intervertebral motion task: observations of performance in a cross-sectional study.
INTRODUCTION Passive motion palpation is an integral component in examination, diagnosis or classification, and treatment of persons with mechanical disorders of the cervical spine. If the magnitude of force application during passive movement assessment is associated with greater palpatory accuracy has not been established. METHODS This investigation used a novel mechanical model as a basis ...
