FIELD: simulators; medicine.
SUBSTANCE: computerized simulator for teaching the technique of carrying out power manual actions on the cervical spine, containing models of human body elements, equipped with sensing elements that are connected to a computer through transducers, in which the signals of sensitive elements are fixed and the difference between the signals obtained when the models are exposed to an experienced doctor and under the influence of trained personnel is calculated. Head and neck models are used as models. Neck model is rigidly mounted on a rotating platform, the platform is equipped with a brake with adjustable friction torque and is installed on the bearing relative to the base of the simulator. As elements sensitive to force effects on models, a platform angular velocity sensor and braking torque sensor, which are rigidly connected to a rotating platform, are used. Signals from the sensors are pulsed.
EFFECT: computerized simulator for teaching the technique of carrying out manual power actions on the cervical spine is proposed.
