Predictability of the Ability to Perform an Emergency Stop After Surgery for Inguinal Hernia

NCT03808012 · Status: WITHDRAWN · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL

Last updated 2020-12-29

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Several studies exist on patient performance in drive simulators especially around and after surgery. Recommendations concerning the ability to drive after inguinal hernia are scarce and so far do not offer conclusive results. Aim of the study is to analyse reaction time and foot transfer time (together brake response time) and brake force in a brake simulator before and after scheduled inguinal hernia surgery (Liechtenstein procedure).

Conditions

  • Inguinal Hernia

Interventions

OTHER

Braking performance in a brake simulator

Braking performance is tested in a real middle size car cabin to simulate ergonomic conditions of driving a car. This testing cabin has been equipped with customised equipment to allow measurement of reaction time, foot transfer time, brake response time and brake force.
