The authors created a surgical simulation of open carpal tunnel release utilizing a mobile and rehearsal platform app. This study was performed in order to validate the simulator as an effective training platform for carpal tunnel release.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n          Methods  The simulator was evaluated using a number of metrics: construct validity (the ability to identify variability in skill levels), face validity (the perceived ability of the simulator to teach the intended material), content validity (that the simulator was an accurate representation of the intended operation), and acceptability validity (willingness of the desired user group to adopt this method of training). Novices and experts were recruited. Each group was tested, and all participants were assigned an objective score, which served as construct validation. A Likert-scale questionnaire was administered to gauge face, content, and acceptability validity.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n          Results  Twenty novices and 10 experts were recruited for this study. The objective performance scores from the expert group were significantly higher than those of the novice group, with surgeons scoring a median of 74% and medical students scoring a median of 45%. The questionnaire responses indicated face, content, and acceptability validation.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n          Conclusions  This mobile-based surgical simulation platform provides step-by-step instruction for a variety of surgical procedures. The findings of this study help to demonstrate its utility as a learning tool, as we confirmed construct, face, content, and acceptability validity for carpal tunnel release. This easy-to-use educational tool may help bring surgical education to a new\u2014and highly mobile\u2014level.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.5999\/aps.2017.44.3.223","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,5,26]],"date-time":"2017-05-26T10:53:46Z","timestamp":1495796026000},"page":"223-227","update-policy":"http:\/\/dx.doi.org\/10.5999\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":17,"title":["Validation of a Cognitive Task Simulation and Rehearsal Tool for Open Carpal Tunnel Release"],"prefix":"10.1055","volume":"44","author":[{"given":"John A.
