Use of Hand-motion Analysis to Assess Competence and Skill Decay for Cardiac and Lung Point-of-care Ultrasound.

We have demonstrated that HMA is a feasible and valid tool for assessment of competence in technical skills and can also evaluate skill degradation over time. Skill degradation appears more apparent in complex skills, such as cardiac POCUS. HMA may provide a more efficient and reliable assessment of technical skills, including POCUS, when compared to traditional assessment tools.
