Laparoscopy is used in many surgical specialties. Subjective reports have suggested that performing laparoscopic surgery patients with a high body mass index (BMI) leading to increased prevalence of musculoskeletal symptoms surgeons. The aim this study was objectively quantify the impact on surgeon upper kinematics and dynamic workload when simulated laparoscopy at different BMI levels.Upper novice, intermediate expert surgeons were calculated based measurements from inertial measurement...
Abstract Laparoscopy is a cornerstone of modern surgical care. Despite clear advantages for the patients, it has been associated with inducing upper body musculoskeletal disorders amongst surgeons due to propensity non-neutral postures. Furthermore, there perception that patients obesity exacerbate these factors. Therefore, novice, intermediate and expert surgeon posture was objectively quantified using inertial measurement units LUBA ergonomic framework used assess subsequent postural data...
