Predictability of the Ability to Perform an Emergency Stop After Surgery for Inguinal Hernia
- Conditions
- Inguinal Hernia
- Registration Number
- NCT03808012
- Lead Sponsor
- University Hospital Tuebingen
- Brief Summary
Several studies exist on patient performance in drive simulators especially around and after surgery. Recommendations concerning the ability to drive after inguinal hernia are scarce and so far do not offer conclusive results. Aim of the study is to analyse reaction time and foot transfer time (together brake response time) and brake force in a brake simulator before and after scheduled inguinal hernia surgery (Liechtenstein procedure).
