| Research Abstract |
Regarding identification of stiffness, it is very important for medical professions to gain the ability to detect human body stiffness because the ability influences on decision treatment policy. However, it is not easy to acquire the ability of palpation. And also young medical professions have to improve the ability of palpation. In this study, we are focusing on the ability to detect human body stiffness, property of hardness sensation and discrimination in touching the tip of human forefinger to multi-layered object was investigated. We made prototypes of stiffness and tried quantification of the ability to detect human body stiffness.
