Human evolution and the obstetrical dilemma: The pelvic floor hypothesis

Minimal virtual reality‐induced symptoms and effects in anatomy education across controller types
Abstract With the increasing adoption of virtual reality (VR) in anatomy education, understanding VR‐induced symptoms and effects (VRISE) is pivotal to effective curriculum design. To compare self‐reported VRISE across different VR controller types, the study included 199 responses from students aged 18–54, enrolled in visceral anatomy or neuroanatomy ...
