Hand versus foot controls for robotic surgery training
This study compares using hand controls versus foot controls while practicing robotic surgery on a simulator. It aims to see which control method helps surgical trainees learn robotic surgery skills most effectively.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial tests a robotic training program for newer surgeons. It may help surgeons learn robotic procedures more effectively.
This study is testing different ways to control an arm prosthesis for people missing a hand or lower arm (transradial amputation). It may help compare how well people can use a myoelectric (muscle-signal) prosthesis using either direct control or pattern recognition.
This trial tests a new way to control a bionic hand for people who have a below-elbow amputation. The goal is to make the hand easier and more natural to use.
This study looks at ways to improve how surgeons perform during robot-assisted surgeries. If you are a surgeon who does robotic procedures, joining this study could help make surgery safer and more effective.
This trial tests new force feedback instruments in the da Vinci 5 robot during surgery. It aims to see if they help surgeons perform procedures more precisely for conditions like cancer or other diseases.
This study compares how much physical strain surgeons experience during different types of robot-assisted surgeries. It looks at two types of surgery: rectal removal (colorectal) and prostate removal (urological). The goal is to see which robotic system is easier on the surgeon's body.
