|
Depth Perception
- Constantly overshoots target, wide swings, slow to correct
- Some overshooting or missing target, but quick to correct
- Accurately directs instruments in the correct plane to target

Bimanual Dexterity
- Uses only one hand, ignores non dominant hand, poor coordination between hands
- Uses both hands, but does not optimize interaction between hands
- Expertly uses both hands in a complementary manner to provide optimal exposure

Efficiency
- Inefficient efforts; many tentative movements; constantly changing focus or persisting without progress
- Slow, but planned movements are reasonably organized
- Confident, efficient and safe conduct, maintains focus on task

|
Force Sensitivity
- Rough moves, tears tissue, injures nearby structures, poor control, frequent suture breakage
- Handles tissue reasonably well, minor trauma to adjacent tissue, rare suture breakage
- Applies appropriate tension, negligible injury to adjacent structures, no suture breakage
|
Tissue Handling
- Rough movements, tears tissue, injures adjacent structures, poor grasper control, grasper frequently slips
- Handles tissue reasonably well, minor trauma to adjacent tissue (i.e., occasional unnecessary bleeding or slipping of the grasper)
- Handles tissues well, applies appropriate traction, negligible injury to adjacent structures
|
Robotic Control
- Consistently does not optimize view, hand position, or repeated collisions even with guidance
- View is sometimes not optimal. Occasionally needs to relocate arms. Occasional collisions and obstruction of assistant
- Controls camera and hand position optimally and independently. Minimal collisions or obstruction of assistant
