Fleximan Manikin

WE BELIEVE THAT STUDENTS NEED A SAFE LEARNING ENVIRONMENT, THIS INCLUDES TRAINING AIDS

Fleximan began production in 1994 and there has been continuous improvement to the design over the past 20 years.

Early Research (A Cervical Manikin Technique for Chiropractic Skills Development; Young TJ, Hayek R, Phillipson S, JMPT 21:4 May 1999, pp. 241-245) showed that there was no difference in examination results for students who used the cervical manikin.

Recent Research (The simulated early learning of cervical spinal manipulation technique utilizing mannequins; Chapman PD, Stomski NJ, Losco B, Walker BF, Chiropr ManTherap. 2015, published online Aug 3 http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4522963/ confirms the above and suggests there are safety implications.

OUR MISSION IS VERY CLEAR - WE AIM TO PROVIDE ALL STUDENTS WITH A SAFE, REALISTIC AND EFFECTIVE TRAINING AID

It is hypothesized that students who have access to the Fleximan Manikin suffer less fatigue/injury from repetitive practice of setup procedures on each other.

The Fleximan Manikin is the equivalent of the Resuscitation Annie of the spinal manipulation world!

WE AT FLEXIMAN MANIKIN ARE PASSIONATE ABOUT SAFE SPINAL MANIPULATION TRAINING

Fleximan Manikin is the product of years of research and experience. We are passionate about preventing subject fatigue/injury, and the Fleximan Manikin is designed specifically to prevent this happening to students and educators.

YEARS OF RESEARCH

More

• Better psychomotor skill development through, repetition on a simulation device.
• Less opportunity for subject fatigue/injury. Reduction in the amount of time and frequency that student subjects must endure practice procedures and potential disequilibrium from constant heat movements, etc.
• Injured students can provide a manikin as an alternative to themselves.
• Strength and finesse training: Stronger students develop finesse whilst students with less strength can use the manikin as a resistance training device develop prehensile, digital, and upper body fitness and power.
• Increased chance of learning correct engrams for procedures. One partner stabilizes the manikin and monitors the practicing partner for correct procedure components.
• Remedial students can practice on the manikin repetitively with less dependence for extra practice on "friends".
• Consistent evaluation platform: Before giving permission to practice on his or her own neck, a student subject can observe practice on a manikin.
