摘要
High precision in the manual control of needles and biopsy probes in medical treatment requires high skill and dexterity levels. In anaesthesia, force sensation is an important feedback mechanism, and the practitioner needs to refresh or develop skills to improve on the interpretation of needle progress towards the target site. This paper describes an experimental tactile force simulator for uniaxial needle action for which the force resisting progress of the needle is derived from measured data. As an example, the approach taken to develop the simulation of the insertion of epidural needles is described. Adaptation to other procedures would be possible by adopting new reference models based on appropriate measured force data.
