However, palpation is a complex task that requires the right combination of knowledge, skills, and attitude thus making it a real challenge to teach. This article describes a seven-step palpation method that promotes the development of palpation skills by gradually mastering their complexity. This innovative teaching approach is based on well-known cognitive and motor learning theories and addresses technical as well as perceptual considerations. For the last three years, the Seven-Step Palpation Method has been used at the Centre Ostéopathique du Québec. The advantages and challenges of its implementation are discussed along with the main issues of osteopathic palpation. a 2013 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

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...
