Control program adaptation based on device status and user input

A surgical system, comprising:

• a surgical instrument, comprising:
• an end effector, comprising:
• a first jaw;
• and
• a second jaw, wherein at least one of the first jaw and the second jaw is moved with respect to one another between an open position and a closed position, wherein tissue is configured to be positioned between the first jaw and the second jaw;
• an actuator configured to receive at least one user input, wherein the actuator is configured to move at a speed in response to the at least one user input;
• a generator configured to supply power to the end effector;
• and
• a processor configured to run a control program to operate the surgical system, wherein the processor is configured to:
• detect a first parameter of the surgical system;
• detect the speed of the actuator in response to the at least one user input;
• and
• modify the control program to control a jaw closure speed in response to the first parameter and the speed of the actuator responsive to the at least one user input.
