[PMID: 32868228 DOI: 10.1016/j.jsurg.2020.08.022] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/10/2020] [Revised: 05/30/2020] [Accepted: 08/11/2020] [Indexed: 06/11/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The pursuit of high standards and continuous self-improvement are important aspects of a professional attitude in medicine. However, when identity and self-esteem are dependent on flawless performance, healthy striving can become perfectionism. The present study examines the influence of perfectionism on the learning process of basic instrument handling for minimally invasive surgery (MIS). METHODS Thirty medical students volunteered to participate in the study (19 females, 11 males). The mean age was 19.8 years (SD = 1.8). The Perfectionism Inventory was used to determine the degree of perfectionist characteristics in two main factors: Self-evaluative perfectionism and Conscientious perfectionism. Participants practiced with the loops and wire task on a surgical simulator and were tested for skill retention within 48 hours. During practice instrument movement was captured in three-dimensional space using a Leap Motion controller. Performance was assessed by time and total path length travelled by the instruments. RESULTS Self-evaluative perfectionism was negatively related to skill retention with regard to movement efficiency, but did not predict change in average time on task. The Conscientious perfectionism factor was not a predictor of skill retention with regard to path length or completion time. RESULTS Self-evaluative perfectionism was a significant predictor of change in average pathlength between sessions but did not predict change in average time. The Conscientious perfectionism factor was not a predictor of changes in path length or completion time. CONCLUSIONS Overly negative self-evaluation during MIS skill practice undermined the learning process. Trainees with self-critical perfectionistic tendencies may not optimally benefit from their efforts during practice.

Abstract
Manual assembly in the future Industry 4.0 workplace will put high demands on operators' cognitive processing. The development of mental workload (MWL) measures therefore looms large. Physiological gauges such as electroencephalography (EEG) show promising possibilities, but still lack sufficient reliability when applied in the field. This study presents an alternative measure with a substantial ecological validity. First, we developed a behavioural video coding scheme identifying 11 assembly behaviours potentially revealing MWL being too high. Subsequently, we explored its validity by analysing videos of 24 participants performing a high and a low complexity assembly. Results showed that five of the behaviours identified, such as freezing and the amount of part rotations, significantly differed in occurrence and/or duration between the two conditions. The study hereby proposes a novel and naturalistic method that could help practitioners to map and redesign critical assembly phases, and researchers to enrich validation of MWL-measures through measurement triangulation. Practitioner summary: Current physiological mental workload (MWL) measures still lack sufficient reliability when applied in the field. Therefore, we identified several observable assembly behaviours that could reveal MWL being too high. The results propose a method to map MWL by observing specific assembly behaviours such as freezing and rotating parts.

Abstract
The effect of continuous visual flow on the ability to regain and maintain postural orientation was examined. Fourteen young (20-39 years old) and 14 older women (60-79 years old) stood quietly during 3° (30°/s) dorsiflexion tilt of the support surface combined with 30° and 45°/s upward or downward pitch rotations of the visual field. The support surface was held tilted for 30 s and then returned to neutral over a 30-s period while the visual field continued to rotate. Segmental displacement and bilateral tibialis anterior and gastrocnemius muscle EMG responses were recorded. Continuous wavelet transforms were calculated for each muscle EMG response. An instantaneous mean frequency curve (IMNF) of muscle activity, center of mass (COM), center of pressure (COP), and angular excursion at the hip and ankle were used in a functional principal component analysis (fPCA). Functional component weights were calculated and compared with mixed model repeated measures ANOVAs. The fPCA revealed greatest mathematical differences in COM and COP responses between groups or conditions during the period that the platform transitioned from the sustained tilt to a return to neutral position. Muscle EMG responses differed most in the period following support surface tilt indicating that muscle activity increased to support stabilization against the visual flow. Older women exhibited significantly larger COM and COP responses in the direction of visual field motion and less muscle modulation when the platform returned to neutral than younger women. Results on a Rod and Frame test indicated that older women were significantly more visually dependent than the younger women. We concluded that a stiffer body combined with heightened visual sensitivity in older women critically interferes with their ability to counteract posturally destabilizing environments.

Abstract
Music performance anxiety (MPA), or stage fright in music performance, is a serious problem for many musicians, because performance impairment accompanied by MPA can threaten their career. The present study sought to clarify on how a social-evaluative performance situation affects subjective, autonomic, and motor stress responses in pianists. Measurements of subjective state anxiety, heart rate (HR), sweat rate (SR), and electromyographic (EMG) activity of upper extremity muscles were obtained while 18 skilled pianists performed a solo piano piece(s) of their choice under stressful (competition) and non-stressful (rehearsal) conditions. Participants reported greater anxiety in the competition condition, which confirmed the effectiveness of stress manipulation. The HR and SR considerably increased from the rehearsal to competition condition reflecting the activation of sympathetic division of the autonomic nervous system. Furthermore, participants showed higher levels of the EMG magnitude of proximal muscles (biceps brachii and upper trapezius) and the co-contraction of antagonistic muscles in the forearm (extensor digitorum communis and flexor digitorum superficialis) in the competition condition. Although these responses can be interpreted as integral components of an adaptive biological system that creates a state of motor readiness in an unstable or unpredictable environment, they can adversely influence pianists by disrupting their fine motor control on stage and by increasing the risk of playing-related musculoskeletal disorders.

Abstract
Sensory-motor dysfunctions are often associated with Alzheimer's disease (AD) or mild cognitive impairment (MCI). This study suggests that deterioration in fine motor control and coordination characterizes sensory-motor deficiencies of AD and MCI. Nine patients with a clinical diagnosis of probable AD, 9 amnestic MCI subjects and 10 cognitively normal controls performed four types of handwriting movement on a digitizer. Movement time and smoothness were analyzed between the groups and across the movement patterns. Kinematic profiles were also compared among the groups. AD and MCI patients demonstrated slower, less smooth, less coordinated, and less consistent handwriting movements than their healthy counterparts. The theoretical relevance and practical implications of fine motor tasks, such as these movements involved in handwriting, are discussed relative to the deteriorated sensory-motor system of AD and MCI patients.

Abstract
Right-handed participants performed aimed, left- and right-hand movements toward a fixed target in speed and precision conditions. The purpose was to determine detailed hand differences in the temporal and spatial control during the course of a movement. The results showed that hand differences pertaining to spatial control of movement direction occurred throughout movement execution, and that these differences were stronger in the high speed and low precision conditions. Furthermore, the left hand took more time to execute a movement than the right hand, especially in conditions of low speed and high precision. Detailed time analysis revealed that slowing down of the left hand specifically happened prior to peak acceleration and beyond peak deceleration. These detailed temporal hand differences reoccurred as additional discontinuities in the acceleration profile. These results suggest that the left hand has more difficulty at movement start than the right hand, possibly in overcoming initial inertia. It is discussed whether time-based manual asymmetries located near the end of movement execution should be explained in terms of increased feedback use, or should be related to hand differences regarding the possible active dissipation of mechanical energy at movement completion.

Abstract
The present study extends our previous findings in challenging the traditional interpretation of irregularities in the velocity profile of pointing movements as corrective submovements performed to improve accuracy of target achievement. The study is driven by a hypothesis that pointing includes at least two subtasks, accurate target achievement and motion termination, each of which can cause submovements (Dounskaia et al. Exp Brain Res 164:505-516, 2005). To investigate submovements associated with these subtasks, two tasks were performed in the experiment. Task 1 was used to examine the contribution of the two subtasks on submovement production by comparing submovements in discrete movements that include motion termination and in cyclic movements during which motion termination is not performed. Target size manipulations emphasized submovements related to the accuracy subtask. The results confirmed that both subtasks included in pointing cause submovements. Gross types of submovements (types 1 and 2) were associated with motion termination and fine submovements (type 3) with accuracy regulation. Task 2 further investigated sources of the accuracy-associated type 3 submovements by including only cyclic movements performed at two levels of frequency. Most (97.6%) of the submovements in task 2 were of type 3. Submovement incidence was strongly (inversely) associated with cyclic frequency, and it was independent of target size. This result questions the accuracy subtask as a primary source for type 3 submovements, and it raises the possibility that these submovements are an inherent property of low-speed movements. Together, results of the two tasks support our previous finding that gross submovements are not necessarily related to accuracy regulation. They also provide evidence that challenges the interpretation of fine submovements as corrections performed voluntarily to improve pointing accuracy. Alternative interpretations of accuracy regulation mechanisms, such as regulation of muscle stiffness and of the muscle co-contraction level are discussed in light of the present results.

Abstract
Work-related upper extremity disorders (WRUEDs) that result from keyboarding tasks are prevalent and costly. Although the precise mechanisms causing the disorder are not yet fully understood, several risk factors have been proposed. These include the repetitive nature of the motor task and the associated sustained static working postures, but also more psychological factors such as mental load. Epidemiological surveys have shown that WRUEDs are more prone to develop in the postural muscles of the neck/shoulder area than in the executive muscles controlling the hand. The present study investigated whether the activation patterns of these two muscle types are differentially affected by an additional mental load during the performance of a repetitive tapping task. Participants tapped various keying patterns with their dominant index finger at two prescribed tempi. Mental load was manipulated by means of an auditory short-term memory task. We recorded the EMG activity of two neck/shoulder muscles (trapezius and deltoid), two upper arm muscles (biceps and triceps), and four forearm muscles (flexor digitorum superficialis, extensor digitorum, extensor carpi radialis longus and extensor carpi ulnaris) and analyzed the kinematics and impact forces of the index finger. The results confirmed that the upper limb has two functions. Specifically, activity of the executive distal musculature was increased during tapping at the higher pace, while the activity of the postural upper limb musculature was elevated due to the memory task. We argue that continuously increased muscular activity can lead to fatigue and thus eventually cause musculoskeletal complaints. The results are discussed with respect to biomechanical adaptation strategies that deal with the consequences of increased noise in the neuromotor system due to enhanced mental processing.
