Comparative assessment of tactile sensitivity between undergraduate and postgraduate health sciences students

Objectivation of an Educational Model in Cranial Osteopathy Based on Experience

“…In this respect, another study investigated the effects of standardized protocol training on cranial palpation pressures used by osteopathy professionals [ 33 ], and concluded that palpatory training was ineffective in improving accuracy in professionals of cranial palpation, also suggesting to examine palpation pressures used by experienced professionals. Both studies [ 32 , 33 ] ultimately highlighted the importance of training in professional cranial palpation, which is in agreement with our results.…”

“…The great pending conversation in CO, which also motivates this study, is diagnostic evaluation. There are studies that show differences in tactile ability, such as the study by Nascimiento et al [ 32 ], which states that teaching strategies used during different educational periods can contribute to improving tactile sensitivity and precision through professionals in manual palpation. In this respect, another study investigated the effects of standardized protocol training on cranial palpation pressures used by osteopathy professionals [ 33 ], and concluded that palpatory training was ineffective in improving accuracy in professionals of cranial palpation, also suggesting to examine palpation pressures used by experienced professionals.…”

Osteopathy – a complex business

“…Skills assessment and evaluation are examined in the context of clinical competence with a commentary 13 and in a paper evaluating an assessment tool 14 whereas tactile discrimination is tested in experienced and unexperienced contexts. 15 The breadth and complexity of osteopathy is illustrated by the range of topics in this issue, the diverse methodologies used and the different types of evidence reported. We anticipate that readers will take away information that can enhance their understanding or their practice and their patients and enable complexity to be seen as part of the richness of practice.…”

Análise da Estratégia Motora da Mão no Desempenho do Teste Háptico Manual de Alto Relevo com Formas Geométricas - HP-hrg

“…8,17,26 nos quais o autor incluiu figuras curvas como círculos e semicírculos e figuras com linhas retas que formam ângulos e inclui triângulos e trapézios.Theurel et al27 avaliaram o reconhecimento háptico de formas geométricas em adolescentes congenitamente cegos e videntes vendados, utilizando diferentes categorias geométricas (triângulos, quadrados e retângulos) e as consideram como um estimulo de fácil reconhecimento pela familiaridade destas figuras.Para estabelecer a diferenciação em níveis de dificuldades no conjunto de atividades em alto relevo nos baseamos nos estudos deGrunwald 8,19,26,36 , Theruel 27 , Pinet e Gentaz 38 e Henriques 21 , que demonstram maior facilidade no…”
