The microscopically small middle ear structures require the otosurgeon to have a steady hand because instrument stability is a critical factor for a successful microsurgical procedure. Hand steadiness is mainly influenced by the tremor movements of the hand. The aim of this study was to measure hand tremor under simulated microsurgical conditions and to estimate the influence of different kinds of physical strain (e.g., physical exertion and hand exercise), as well as food abstinence and coffee consumption. Further, the effect of one-or two-handed manipulation and microsurgical experience was investigated.
