Project Summary/Abstract The proposed project focuses on creating a simulation system that provides hands-on skills training of musculoskeletal, soft tissue, and ligament function for medical and health science students. Significance: Musculoskeletal (MSK) disorders are the most frequent chronic health problems in the United States. Despite this reality, education in the prevention, diagnosis, and management of MSK disorders and injuries is underrepresented in entry level training and postgraduate residency programs leaving primary care providers underprepared. Multiple studies have confirmed that students lack competency in this domain, having difficulty performing and interpreting the results of MSK examinations, leading to reduced patient outcomes. Hypothesis: We hypothesize that the creation and availability of a new simulation system can address this problem by supporting enhanced learning interactions and increasing knowledge transfer for clinical education. Specific Aims: A Fast-Track project is proposed where the Phase I aims will be to: 1) Consult with expert advisory panel and perform final independent evaluation, 2) Prototype knee joint mannequin materials/mechanical design, and 3) Develop simulation electronics and functionality. If the Phase I meets its transition criteria of success the follow-on Phase II program will: 1) Collect expert feedback on design and educational utility, 2) Perform additional skeletal/joint engineering and implement a suite of simulation curricula, and 3) Validate the system utility through human subject testing and expert evaluation.

项目概要/摘要 拟议项目的重点是创建一个模拟系统，提供动手技能培训 为医学和健康科学学生提供肌肉骨骼、软组织和韧带功能。意义： 肌肉骨骼 (MSK) 疾病是美国最常见的慢性健康问题。尽管 鉴于这一现实，斯隆斯隆 (MSK) 疾病和伤害的预防、诊断和管理教育 入门级培训和研究生住院医师计划中的代表性不足，离开初级保健提供者 准备不足。多项研究证实，学生缺乏该领域的能力，难以 执行和解释 MSK 检查结果，导致患者治疗效果下降。 假设：我们假设新模拟系统的创建和可用性可以解决这个问题 通过支持加强学习互动和增加临床教育知识转移来解决问题。 具体目标：提出了一个快速通道项目，第一阶段的目标是：1) 咨询专家 顾问小组并进行最终独立评估，2）原型膝关节人体模型 材料/机械设计，以及 3) 开发模拟电子设备和功能。如果第一阶段满足其 后续第二阶段计划的成功过渡标准将： 1) 收集专家对设计和设计的反馈 教育实用程序，2) 执行额外的骨骼/关节工程并实施一套模拟课程， 3）通过人体测试和专家评估来验证系统实用性。
