A computer based spine simulator that can be used as part of a training program for massage therapists, designed to teach how to diagnose and fix problems arising from inter-vertebra tension.
Baxym is a privately funded research project that is developing a computer based spine simulator. It will be used as part of a training program for massage therapists, designed to teach how to diagnose and fix problems arising from inter-vertebra tension.
Baxym can control the vertebral positions and joint stiffness in an artificial human spine so as to reproduce the effects of a range of spinal problems. It then provides interactive feedback to help the trainee detect the subtle changes in the rotational stiffness of the joints and to apply the correct pressure to trigger the body's natural healing process.
