Research Abstract

This research has developed a wearable bioinstrumentation system for surgical operative skill evaluation, based on both the kinematics and biomechanics analysis of surgeon's movements. It can be used everywhere, both in the training room and the real operation room, or outdoor, with high wearability and portability by using miniaturized MEMS sensors and wireless communication methods. It can provide a comprehensive surgical skill evaluation based on both the kinematics and biomechanics analysis of surgeon's movements by using motion and EMG data.
