Contributor Dankelman, J. (mentor) Horeman, T. (mentor) Faculty Mechanical, Maritime and Materials Engineering Department BioMechanical Engineering Programme BME Date 2013-09-23 Abstract The goal of this thesis is to design a hybrid trainer that can quantitatively measure the LESS performance while investigating the difference between LESS and CLS, finally propose a novel objective assessment tools for future research. A force platform is developed, which measures tissue manipulation force in the range of 0-20N with an accuracy of 0.1N. Abdominal force is measured in both CLS and LESS configurations. And acceleration of instrument handle is measured with the MEMS accelerometers. Hypotheses associated with the difference between CLS and LESS are tested in experiments. Significant difference is found in maximum tissue manipulation force and abdominal force, but with exceptions.
