Considering the fluid nature of nano breakthroughs—and the delicate balance between
benefits and consequences as they apply to medicine—readers at all levels require a …

Simulators have been traditionally used for centuries during medical gestures training.
Nowadays, mechatronic technologies have opened the way to more evolved solutions …

The medical training concerning childbirth for young obstetricians involves performing real
deliveries, under supervision. This medical procedure becomes more complicated when …

Introduction and hypothesis We created a pregnant woman pelvic model to perform a
simulation of delivery to understand the pathophysiology of urogenital prolapse by studying …

During physiological or 'natural'childbirth, the fetal head follows a distinct motion pattern—
often referred to as the cardinal movements or 'mechanisms' of childbirth—due to the …

This paper aims to highlight the benefits of simulator training in obstetric manipulations such
as forceps blade placement. The BirthSIM simulator is used to mimic operative vaginal …

Background In obstetrics, manipulations are mainly learned during real deliveries. To
minimize the risks linked to such training, we propose a childbirth simulator as a teaching …

Our main work consists in modeling of the female pelvis and uterus, as well as the human
fetus. The goal of this work is to recover the different forces generated during the delivery …

This paper presents the control algorithm implanted on the childbirth simulator BirthSIM in
order to provide training to novice obstetricians. The forceps extraction is an obstetric …

Hand gesture recognition is a promising research area often used in applications of human–
computer interactions in the medical field. In this paper, we present a novel approach to …
