Research Abstract

We have developed a training system for pelvic examination that enables simulation of normal and abnormal conditions of labor detecting the position and direction of the examining fingers in real-time via tactile and visual perceptions using anatomical and virtual models and magnetic sensors. It provides learners with a hands-on introduction to the female anatomy prior to practicing on a real women in labor. This system provides immediate feedback to the learner and the instructor on how accurately the examination is being performed, increasing both skills acquisition and confidence in the process.
