Whether the traditional touch of the lumbar model is still irreplaceable
The traditional touch of the lumbar spine model has indeed maintained an irreplaceable position in medical education and clinical practice. Despite the many innovations brought about by modern technology to provide a richer and more immersive learning experience for medical education, the authentic touch provided by the lumbar model still has its unique value.

First, traditional touch allows students and doctors to directly feel the complex structure and subtle changes of the lumbar spine. In touch and manipulation, learners are able to more intuitively understand the physiological curvature of the lumbar spine, the arrangement of the intervertebral joints, the position of the discs, and the attachment points of the surrounding muscles and ligaments. This hands-on experience helps to deepen memory, improve spatial imagination, and lay a solid foundation for subsequent clinical practice.
Secondly, traditional touch plays an important role in simulating surgical operation and rehabilitation treatment. In the simulated operation process, doctors can be familiar with the surgical steps and skills through the actual operation on the model, and improve the accuracy and safety of the operation. At the same time, in rehabilitation treatment, the therapist can use the model to show the patient the correct posture and movement to help the patient restore the function and stability of the lumbar spine. This intuitive teaching method not only improves the treatment effect, but also enhances the confidence and cooperation of patients
Of course, we cannot deny the important role of modern science and technology in medical education. Technologies such as virtual reality and augmented reality can provide learners with a more vivid and graphic learning experience to help them better understand and master medical knowledge. However, these techniques do not completely replace the real touch and intuition provided by traditional teaching tools such as lumbar models.
To sum up, traditional touch still plays an irreplaceable role in medical education and clinical practice. It can not only provide an intuitive, three-dimensional learning experience, but also play an important role in simulating surgical operations and rehabilitation. At the same time, it has an emotional connection that cannot be replaced by modern technology. Therefore, in the future medical education, we should continue to pay attention to and make full use of the advantages of traditional teaching tools such as lumbar spine model, so as to contribute to cultivating more excellent medical talents.
