The present study examined the effectiveness of an immersive arthroscopic simulator for training naive participants to identify major anatomical structures and manipulate the arthroscope and probe. Ten psychology graduate students engaged in five consecutive days of practice sessions with the arthroscopic trainer. Following each session, participants were tested to see how quickly and accurately they could identify 10 anatomical landmarks and manipulate the arthroscope and probe. The results demonstrated steady learning on both tasks. For the anatomy task, participants correctly identified an average of 7.7 out of 10 structures correctly in the first session and 9.5 in the last. During the manipulation task, participants collided 53.5 times with simulated tissues in the first session and 13.2 times during the final session. Participants (n=9) also demonstrated minimal performance degradation when tested 4 weeks later. These data suggest that the immersive arthroscopic trainer might be useful as an initial screening or training tool for beginning medical students.
本研究考察了沉浸式关节镜模拟器对新手参与者识别主要解剖结构以及操作关节镜和探针的培训效果。十名心理学研究生连续五天使用关节镜训练器进行练习。每次练习后，测试参与者识别10个解剖标志以及操作关节镜和探针的速度和准确性。结果表明在这两项任务上都有稳步的学习。在解剖任务中，参与者在第一节课平均正确识别出10个结构中的7.7个，在最后一节课正确识别出9.5个。在操作任务中，参与者在第一节课与模拟组织碰撞53.5次，在最后一节课碰撞13.2次。9名参与者在4周后接受测试时也表现出最小的性能下降。这些数据表明，沉浸式关节镜训练器可能作为医学生入门的初步筛查或培训工具。
