Brief Summary

This study will examine the history of video game use an activities of manual dexterity with the scored skills used in the Eyesi surgical simulator. Subjects will be asked to participate in video games or no video games prior to testing skills in Eyesi to examine training effects of video game participation and changes in manual dexterity.

Conditions

High Fidelity Simulation Training

Keywords

training effect; bimanual dexterity; surgical skills; ophthalmology

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Video Game training effect on Eyesi Surgical Simulator Scores

  Planned statistical analysis will include an average of total scores across navigation, forceps, and bimanual tasks. Chi square analysis will then be utilized to determine any statistical significance between intervention and control groups.

  30 minutes

Secondary Outcomes (1)

• Training effect of manual dexterity activities on Eyesi Surgical Simulator Scores as reported in questionnaire.

  30 minutes

Study Arms (2)

Video Game Trained

EXPERIMENTAL

Subjects will participate in video gaming for 10 minutes prior to Eyesi simulator test of surgical skills.

Other: Super Smash Brothers Melee (Gamecube)

No Video Game Training

NO INTERVENTION

No video gaming will occur for warm up to Eyesi simulator test of surgical skills

Interventions

Super Smash Brothers Melee (Gamecube) OTHER

10 minutes of participation in Super Smash Brothers Melee prior to Eyesi Surgical Simulator evaluation of skills.

Video Game Trained
