               Methods: Magnets were attached to the tip of the device to generate a repulsive or attractive
               force on the sides of the tip, which acted as a disturbance force. The distance between the
               magnets located on the side and placed on the tip was varied in order to generate a varying
               displacement force. The lateral displacement was then recorded and analyzed using tracker
