Robotic surgery showdown: hand vs foot clutch in training
NCT ID NCT07618429
First seen Jun 12, 2026 · Last updated Jun 20, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study compares hand and foot clutch controls in robotic surgery simulation for surgical trainees with no prior robotic experience. Participants will practice both methods, then be randomly assigned to use either hand or foot clutch during a standardized task. The simulator tracks performance, errors, and efficiency, and participants rate comfort and difficulty. The goal is to identify which clutch method helps beginners learn more effectively.

What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Hand clutch button vs foot clutch pedal
What this could lead to
If it works, this could help determine the best way for new surgeons to learn robotic surgery controls, potentially improving training efficiency.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage simulation study with 86 participants, so results may not apply to real surgeries or experienced surgeons.
