Background Our aim was to determine how objectively-measured and self-reported muscle
effort and fatigue of the upper-limb differ between surgeons performing laparoscopic (LAP) …

Methods: Surgeons who performed live laparoscopic (LS) and robotic (RS) surgeries
underwent EMG and EEG measurements. Wireless EMG was used to measure muscle …

Introduction. Our aim was to determine how self-reported and objectively measured fatigue
of upper limb differ between laparoscopic and robotic surgical training environments …

Over the past few decades, surgeon training has changed dramatically. Surgical skills are
now taught in a surgical skills laboratory instead of the operating room. Simulation-based …

Purpose General differences in surgeon ergonomics between laparoscopic and robotic-
assisted inguinal hernia repairs (LIHR vs. RIHR) have been previously studied. However …

Sensorimotor testing is used to measure outcomes in surgery, to document results of
treatment and rehabilitation, and to compare results between surgeons, therapists, and …

Purpose. The aim of this work is to present a new physical laparoscopy simulator with an
electromyography (EMG)/accelerometry-based muscle activity recording system, EvalLap …

This dissertation investigates the application of network models in educational assessment
across diverse learning settings, encompassing both clinical and classroom environments …

Background: Due to the deficit of knowledge on fine motor skill far transfer from one domain
of expertise to another, piano performance and surgical training serve as a relevant …
