Researchers found significant differences in skill acquisition and proficiency between dominant and non-dominant hands in laparoscopic surgical training. Network models and EMG data analysis effectively captured muscle activity and learning progression, suggesting the need for tailored training approaches. NASA-TLX scores correlated with performance, emphasizing the importance of objective and subjective measures in training. Personalized protocols based on hand dominance could enhance surgical precision, efficiency, and patient outcomes, revolutionizing surgical education and improving patient care.
