Evaluation and Modification of Surgeon Ergonomics in the Operation Room Using Artificial Intelligence Analytics

Enrolling by invitation · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Work Related Upper Limb Disorder, Musculoskeletal Pain

In brief

The study is working to identify actions of surgeons in the operating room that can contribute to work-related musculoskeletal disorders. This includes poor positioning and time spent in poor positioning while working in the operating room. The study is also looking to determine if fatigue plays a role in work-related musculoskeletal disorders and whether an education intervention will change ergonomic risk.
