Subclaims¶

q2 i? The review reports, citing Vamadevan and colleagues, that the haptic group reached proficiency faster during intervention but the non-haptic group reached proficiency faster at follow-up, and skills were not transferable to a conventional non-haptic setting. → Sayed Azher 2024

q2 · i? · review · r3

The review reports, citing Vamadevan and colleagues, a randomized trial in which residents trained to proficiency in either a haptic or non-haptic simulator and were followed up 3-6 weeks later on the non-haptic simulator. The review reports "the non-haptic group reached proficiency faster during the follow-up test".

"The haptic group required less instructor assistance and reached proficiency faster during the intervention, while the non-haptic group reached proficiency faster during the follow-up test. 81 Across both phases, the haptic group required significantly more instructor feedback during the follow-up than intervention while the non-haptic group required significantly less. 81 The authors concluded that acquired skills were not transferable to a conventional non-haptic setting."
