title: Creating a representative map for arthroscopy simulation.
abstract: The goal of this research was to create accurate task decompositions for arthroscopic shoulder and knee procedures. The methodology used has previously shown to be effective in other minimally invasive surgeries. Future research will integrate these task decompositions into surgical simulators and, along with movement and force data, will help create evaluation tools for surgical students.
