Building a sEMG and Motion Dataset for Evaluating Psychomotor Performance and Learning during Laparoscopic Surgery Training

While laparoscopic surgery cases have continued to increase, many in the profession report experiences of fatigue and injury during such procedures of long durations, which indicates the need for ergonomically designed tools as well as effective training systems that train the muscle groups required for the procedure. Advances in non-invasive wearable sensing and biofeedback signal processing have paved way for robust methods in executing computational and data-driven analysis of anatomical states of the human body, such as in physical therapy and rehabilitation, as they have allowed muscle fatigue to be identified by recording and analyzing the EMG in certain muscle groups. These advancements have also vastly improved human-computer interfaces in gaming environments as well as in recent prototypes of prosthetics.

We have previously devised a web-based telemetry and visualization system that explores key muscle group actuation via a now-commonly available non-invasive, surface-based EMG (sEMG) sensing interface, the Myo™ Gesture Control Armband. This sEMG device enables the recording of transient signals about the muscle activity, and can be used to observe the development of neuromuscular fatigue in the forearms. We explore the feasibility of this new paradigm in immediate and data-driven analysis of psychomotor performance and acquisition of fundamental skills during the course of laparoscopic surgical training, utilizing the Myo™ Gesture Control armband device on the forearms of a trainee, while performing the different training tasks in various training environments.

As part of our ongoing research effort to analyze these sEMG and motion variations, we present our growing database of biofeedback that reflects the changes of the psychomotor abilities of trainees as they gain the fundamental skills in laparoscopic surgery, within the FLS framework. Our dataset includes FLS performances across skill levels, from novice, intermediate, and expert participants as described by their experience of laparoscopic surgery in the operating room. We present early results from the signal processing techniques used in analyzing trainee performance under a variety of fatigue levels, as we measure the development and experience of neuromuscular fatigue and its effect in the use of various laparoscopic instruments and training environments.

We also present the wireless telemetry and data recording system used in the study, that allowed us to record sensor data from participants without obstructions and transmit these data seamlessly to a local, private, and secure on-premise data kiosk. In addition to the biofeedback signals, we also record the videos of the surgical activities performed during training, as well as the posture and hand movements of the trainee from cameras filming the trainee during training sessions. We present a prototype of a web-based performance analytics dashboard that can be that displays all these dataset and analysis  on both PCs and mobile devices, such as tablets, as part of our vision to integrate this sensor system and analytics in the training procedure and in training facilities.

Critical View of Safety (CVS) Challenge QR Code

The SAGES Critical View of Safety Challenge – Donate Your Lap Chole Videos!

The Society of American Gastrointestinal and Endoscopic Surgeons is hosting the first Artificial Intelligence Data Challenge conducted by surgeons. The aim of this challenge is to generate a large and diverse dataset of laparoscopic cholecystectomy videos, annotated with respect to the subcomponents of the Critical View of Safety (CVS). Computer scientists from all over the […]

Respuesta de SAGES al Estudio NordICC sobre el beneficio de las colonoscopias de detección

SAGES desea aclarar los resultados del estudio NordICC y colocarlos en contexto de los esfuerzos de varias agencias nacionales para reducir el riesgo de cáncer colorrectal – la segunda causa de muerte por cáncer más frecuente en los Estados Unidos-, mediante la promoción de la detección y tratamiento oportuno de las lesiones.

SAGES Response to NordICC Study Regarding Benefit of Screening Colonoscopies

The NordICC Study recently published in The New England Journal of Medicine and widely reported on by media outlets has raised questions regarding the benefit of screening colonoscopy in lowering the risk of colorectal cancer and cancer-related deaths among otherwise healthy and symptom-free men and women aged 55 to 64. Provocative headlines and commentaries have […]
