Abstrakt: Context:Learning palpatory diagnosis is a challenge for many osteopathic medical students. The Virtual Haptic Back (VHB) is an aid in teaching and learning these skills. The device simulates the contours and surface compliances of the human back and allows these to be felt through haptic interfaces. Regions of abnormal tissue texture are simulated by altered surface compliance.
