For peels with AFF turned off, comparisons of peeling completion time, average force, SD of force, maximum force, percentage of peeling spent peeling while above 9 mN, and force × time above 9 mN between the first five peels performed at the beginning of the session (AFF off #1) and the last five peels at the end of the session (AFF off #2). Stratified by participant's surgical skill level. 95% confidence intervals from regression models are shown in parentheses.
