As it has been known in the medical practice that completion of a complete medical examination for any patient In the examination room at the hospital by the physician, must pass the four stages of clinical examination namely :
- Inspection, means looking to the patient to discover or note any abnormality.
- Palpation, for any abnormality that can be felt by hands especially abdomen.
- Auscultation, to hear sounds like intensity of breading sounds, gases in abdomen, heart sounds.
- Percussion, is a method of tapping on a surface to determine the underlying structure, and is used in clinical examinations to assess the condition of the thorax or abdomen.
Here after completion of the above stages of clinical examinations and interpretation of our finding, we will Know the full story of what the patient is suffer from and eventually we reach the diagnosis. So we conclude that auscultation has brought a significant success in the field of medical diagnostics. The other significant diagnostic procedure of clinical diagnosis is the percussion which has been done manually nowadays by using our hand fingers and this procedure is hard and not so precise, from here the idea and design of the percusioscope has been innovated to produce a diagnostic simple instrument that eliminate the manual procedure into a mechanical or electric one as will be explained in this abstract.
