FIELD: medicine.
SUBSTANCE: invention relates to medical technology and can be used to teach the technique of carrying out manual force action on the thoracic and lumbar spine. Computerized simulator contains vertebral models and sensing elements for registration of force action, in which elastic beams of the same length with the strain gages placed on them are used. Models of the vertebrae are rigidly fixed on elastic beams, which are rigidly fixed on racks of different length. Lengths of the racks are chosen so that the models of the vertebrae form a model of the spine. Strain gages on the elastic beams are connected to strain-gauge bridge circuits whose inputs are connected to the output of a DC power supply, and the outputs are connected to the inputs of the instrument amplifier, whose output is connected to the computer via an analog-to-digital converter. Computer has the ability to record the impulses of force action on the vertebral models, compare them with the stored standard impulses carried out by a specialist, and output to the monitor to track trainees.
EFFECT: technical result consists in providing correction of the action performed by trainees.
