The accurate placement of a needle into the spinal column is critical for spinal anesthesia, spinal taps, and other spinal procedures. Currently, the insertion of the needle is guided by visual and palpation feedback, which can be limited in accuracy and reliability. This study presents a novel approach to providing tactile feedback during needle insertion into the spinal column. This study aims to investigate the effectiveness of providing feedback during the insertion of a needle into the epidural column. The study uses force-sensing resistor that is placed at the base of the needle. As the needle is inserted into the spinal column, the sensors measure the resistance and force encountered by the needle. These measurements are transmitted to a computer system that processes the data and generates real-time graphical feedback. The system was tested on a phantom model that simulates the spinal column. The results showed that the tactile feedback provided by the system improved the accuracy of needle placement and fewer tries at needle insertion were needed. The proposed tactile feedback system has the potential to improve the accuracy and safety of needle placement during spinal procedures.

精准地将针头置于脊柱是进行脊髓麻醉、脊椎穿刺及其他脊柱手术的关键所在。目前，针头的插入主要依赖于视觉和触觉反馈，其准确性和可靠性受限。本研究提出了一种新颖的方法，旨在为针头插入脊柱过程中提供触觉反馈。本研究旨在探讨在针头插入硬脊膜外腔过程中提供反馈的有效性。研究采用了置于针头底部的力敏电阻器。随着针头插入脊柱，传感器测量针头所遇到的阻力和力。这些测量值被传输至计算机系统进行处理，并生成实时图形反馈。该系统在模拟脊柱的假人模型上进行了测试。结果显示，系统提供的触觉反馈提高了针头放置的准确性，且减少了针头插入的尝试次数。所提出的触觉反馈系统有望提升脊柱手术中针头放置的准确性和安全性。
