Abstract:
Palpation exam is a procedure where a health professional presses a specific region of a patient's body with fingers in order to detect the presence of features and abnormalities under the skin. There is a growing trend to develop simulators capable of adding improvements and greater realism to training this type of procedure. This article presents the results of a systematic review conducted in order to assess the state-of-art of the simulation of the palpation procedure. Papers focusing on techniques and tools of simulation palpation with hap tic feedback were analyzed. From the results obtained, it was concluded that despite being a new area, there are already many innovative papers that received positive reviews.
