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

United States30 participantsStarted 2024-10-21

Plain-language summary

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.
