    摘要: An interactive instrumented model for training lay persons and health care providers to perform effective physical examinations of anatomy. A solid-state sensing system, e.g., a tactile sensor pad, is combined with a model of human anatomy, e.g., a breast model, or a part of a patient to train individuals in the giving of proper physical examinations. The solid-state sensing system is external to the model or part and is in contact with an external surface of the model or part. The solid-state sensing system provides a computer system with multiple levels of pressure applied to the model or part, as well as with the position of each applied pressure to the model or part. The computer system displays the results of a physical examination of the model to the user.
