A device for simulating pathological states, in particular cardiovascular, comprising: a manikin with an external shell reproducing the skin of a patient, a plurality of actuators (1) associated with different parts of the shell and arranged to move said parts, means (2) for feeding a reference signal for each of said pathological states, and means (3) for individually activating the actuators by providing the actuators with an activation signal correlated with the fed reference signal so as to cause the respective parts of the shell to move in a predetermined manner. The device also comprises a control unit connected to selection means (5, 6, 7) enabling the user to set, for each of said actuators, a variation in at least one of the characteristic quantities of the fed reference signal, and means (8) for generating, for each actuator, a feed signal for said activation means (3), said feed signal being dependent on a check, effected for each actuator by comparator means (9), on the value assumed by said characteristic quantity of the reference signal and the value of said characteristic quantity set by the user by said selection means. |
