Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a system and method for surgical training with low cost, reusable materials and a highly customizable virtual environment for skill-building. According to various embodiments, a surgical training tool is usable in conjunction with a support structure configured to at least partially constrain the tool movement. Meanwhile, the tool is tracked in real-time with off-tool detectors to generate a tool path driving a virtual rendering of the surgical training tool in an operative environment. The virtual rendering may be visually observable via a display device and may include a customizable and/or selectable operative environment with one or more structures that can be operated on by the virtual surgical training tool. By tracking the virtual tool interaction with the virtual structures, a task path may be established for documenting and/or objectively assessing the performance of one or more operative tasks.

Abstract: Motion data collected by a sensing device attached to a patient's arm may be used to determine whether the arm is subject to thoracic outlet syndrome (TOS) Motion data regarding motion of an arm of a patient may be received from a sensing device. One or more extremity performance parameters for the arm may be determined based, at least in part, on the motion data. A determination may be made based, at least in part, on the one or more extremity performance parameters whether the arm is subject to TOS.
