Centro de Documentacion de Fundación MAPFRE - Surface exploration using laparoscopic surgical instruments : the perception of surface roughness

Notes: During laparoscopic surgery video images are used to guide the movements of the hand and instruments, and objects in the operating field often obscure these images. Thus, surgeons often rely heavily on tactile information to help quide their movements. It is important to understand how tactile perception is affected when using laparoscopic instruments, since many surgical judgements are based on how a tissue "feels" to the surgeon, particularly in situations where visual inputs are degradedRelated records: En: Ergonomics. - London and Washington. - Vol. 48, nº 7, 10 June 2005 ; p. 874-894Materia / lugar / evento: Ergonomía Percepción táctil Laparoscopia Métodos experimentales Pruebas visuales Coeficiente de fricción Otros autores: Carnahan, H.
