Key result
Modified Bender Motor Gestalt Test performance is reliably linked to psychomotor recovery time from ambulatory anesthesia.
Why the study?
Existing methods for measuring recovery from ambulatory anesthesia were complex and required special equipment or personnel, creating a need for a straightforward, objective test to measure recovery accurately.

Does a modified Bender Motor Gestalt Test accurately measure recovery time from ambulatory anesthesia in oral surgery patients?
A modified Bender Motor Gestalt Test provides a simple, objective, and reliable measure of psychomotor recovery following ambulatory anesthesia.
Trieger et al. (2022) conducted an observational in Ambulatory anesthesia recovery. Modified Bender Motor Gestalt Test vs. Pre-operative baseline and local anesthesia controls was evaluated on Recovery time and psychomotor performance. Performance on the modified Bender Motor Gestalt Test was directly and significantly related to recovery time, providing a reliable index of psychomotor recovery from ambulatory anesthesia.
