Palpation is the process of using one's hands to examine the body, especially while perceiving/diagnosing a disease or illness. Light palpation tests are done using a single hand for any palpable mass, rigidity, or pain. Deep palpation tests are done using two hands for organomegaly, including enlargement of the liver and spleen. User can click on the marked spots on each quadrant and note down the text responses on respective click through the simulated activity.
