Correlation between a motion analysis method and Global Operative Assessment of Laparoscopic Skills for assessing interns' performance in a simulated peg transfer task in Jordan: a validation study.

Purpose: This study aimed to validate the use of ProAnalyst (Xcitex Inc.), a program for professional motion analysts to assess the performance of surgical interns while performing the peg transfer task in a simulator box for safe practice in real minimally invasive surgery.

Methods: A correlation study was conducted in a multidisciplinary skills simulation lab at the Faculty of Medicine, Jordan University of Science and Technology from October 2019 to February 2020.
