Validation of hand motion analysis as an objective assessment tool for the Focused Assessment with Sonography for Trauma examination

Abstract

A "diagnostic criteria"-style test where the "diagnosis" is a determination of competence in a care provider, level II.

The Effects of Music on Microsurgical Technique and Performance

“…Playing music in the OR is a noninvasive intervention of negligible cost. [27][28][29][30] In the context of the international drive toward objective measurable competency-based training outcomes, motion analysis technology may increasingly prove to be an important tool for training as the nature of surgical residency and assessment continues to evolve. 8 We also demonstrated the broad applicability of motion analysis to better understand factors that may lead to enhancements in microsurgical training.…”

Development and evaluation of rhinoplasty spreader graft suture simulator for novice surgeons

“…Discrete movements were defined as detected change in velocity greater than 15 mm/s . Using MatLab algorithms, the change in velocity at each recorded time was calculated.…”

“…Although practice modalities for rhinoplasty have been studied, no model has focused on emulating open graft-specific placement using material that resembles septal cartilage in a human nose. 10,11 To validate the effectiveness of training models for surgery, [12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19] precision and accuracy of suture placement have been used as a method to measure and compare the skill of residents and experts objectively. 20,21 More recently, hand motion has been objectively tracked using either optical or electromagnetic devices in laparoscopic, robotic, and open surgery, and also for assessment of IV insertion and sonography procedures.…”

“…20,21 More recently, hand motion has been objectively tracked using either optical or electromagnetic devices in laparoscopic, robotic, and open surgery, and also for assessment of IV insertion and sonography procedures. [14][15][16]19 Efficiency and economy of motion quantified by task completion time, path length, and number of movements/direction changes correlated with the level of expertise. 15,18,19,22,23 The aim of this study was to evaluate a surgical trainer that mimics spreader graft placement using fresh porcine cartilage tissue and electromagnetic motion tracking as objective outcome measures.…”

We compared residents' and expert rhinoplasty surgeon performances for reliability and construct validity.…”
