Abstract
Background
Teaching complex physical examination skills in health care is currently challenging. Virtual reality (VR) with haptic feedback may help address the challenge. However, the current usage and/or role of VR with haptic feedback in improving physical examination skills of health care students is unclear.
Methods
The following electronic databases will be searched from Jan 2010 to December 2021: PubMed, AMED, EMBASE, CINAHL, Cochrane Library, Physiotherapy Evidence Database (PEDro), and SCOPUS. Two independent reviewers will review the articles retrieved from the databases to assess for eligibility. Studies of any design (quantitative, qualitative and mixed methods) that investigated the use of VR with haptic feedback in health care education will be included in the review. Primary outcomes will include any quantifiable measures and/or qualitative themes. The Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool (MMAT) will be used to appraise the quality of included studies. The overall quality of the evidence (high, moderate, low and very low) of quantitative studies and/or qualitative studies will be evaluated using the Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) and/or GRADE CERQual tools. Discussion: As health care settings (including teaching and clinical practice) are becoming complex, the use of technology such as VR may play a crucial role in facilitating physical examination procedures undertaken by health care professionals. This review will provide a timely overview of the usage of VR with haptic feedback in health care education.
期刊介绍：
The International Journal of Osteopathic Medicine is a peer-reviewed journal that provides for the publication of high quality research articles and review papers that are as broad as the many disciplines that influence and underpin the principles and practice of osteopathic medicine. Particular emphasis is given to basic science research, clinical epidemiology and health social science in relation to osteopathy and neuromusculoskeletal medicine.
The Editorial Board encourages submission of articles based on both quantitative and qualitative research designs. The Editorial Board also aims to provide a forum for discourse and debate on any aspect of osteopathy and neuromusculoskeletal medicine with the aim of critically evaluating existing practices in regard to the diagnosis, treatment and management of patients with neuromusculoskeletal disorders and somatic dysfunction. All manuscripts submitted to the IJOM are subject to a blinded review process. The categories currently available for publication include reports of original research, review papers, commentaries and articles related to clinical practice, including case reports. Further details can be found in the IJOM Instructions for Authors. Manuscripts are accepted for publication with the understanding that no substantial part has been, or will be published elsewhere.
