The role of virtual reality (VR) with haptic feedback in enhancing physical examination skills of health care students – A systematic review protocol

Virtual reality (VR) technologies have been in existence for decades, with their use extended to several applied fields including, amongst others, teaching and learning [1]. The two main reasons to use VR in an educational setting include: 1) the fascination among young people with new technologies such as VR, suggests a greater interest in learning in those environments; and 2) VR could facilitate a visual understanding of complex concepts for students and reduce misconceptions. A recent systematic review emphasized that a VR system improves understanding of anatomical spatial relationships for students, and users strongly preferred it over traditional teaching methods [2].
