Orthopaedic training programs are incorporating arthroscopic simulations into their residency curricula. There is a need for a physical shoulder simulator that accommodates lateral decubitus and beach chair positions, has realistic anatomy, allows for an objective measure of performance and provides feedback to trainees.
A physical shoulder simulator was developed for training basic arthroscopic skills. Sensors were embedded in the simulator to provide a means to assess performance. Subjects of varying skill level were invited to use the simulator and their performance was objectively assessed.
Novice subjects improved their performance after practice with the simulator. A survey completed by experts recognized the simulator as a valuable tool for training basic arthroscopic skills.
The physical shoulder simulator helps train novices in basic arthroscopic skills and provides objective measures of performance. By using the physical shoulder simulator, residents could improve their basic arthroscopic skills, resulting in improved patient safety.
骨科培训项目正在将关节镜模拟纳入住院医师课程。需要一种物理肩部模拟器，它能适应侧卧位和沙滩椅位，具有逼真的解剖结构，允许对操作表现进行客观测量，并为学员提供反馈。
开发了一种用于训练基本关节镜技能的物理肩部模拟器。传感器嵌入模拟器中，以提供评估操作表现的手段。邀请不同技能水平的受试者使用模拟器，并对他们的操作表现进行客观评估。
新手受试者在使用模拟器练习后操作表现有所提高。专家完成的一项调查认可该模拟器是训练基本关节镜技能的有价值工具。
物理肩部模拟器有助于训练新手的基本关节镜技能，并提供操作表现的客观测量。通过使用物理肩部模拟器，住院医师可以提高他们的基本关节镜技能，从而提高患者安全性。
