Work Breaks During Simulated Minimally Invasive Surgery
Work Breaks During Minimally Invasive Surgery - Target-group Specific Development of Work Break Schedules
Minimally invasive surgeons have a prevalence of work-related musculoskeletal complaints of up to 86% due to the exposure to static loading, awkward postures, work pressure, and patient's wellbeing. Researchers have developed postural interventions to counteract the prevalence of musculoskeletal complaints and disorders, such as robot-assisted surgeries, arm-support systems, and rotatable handle pieces. An alternative intervention is to implement work breaks during the surgeries, which has shown to give promising results including that surgery duration does not prolong.
The aim of the current study is to simulate 90-min laparoscopic surgery activities in the laboratory and compare two intervention situations with the control situation. The control situation is without work breaks. The two intervention situations include 2.5-min breaks provided two times, i.e. after every 30-min work period, which are passive (rest) or active (targeted mobilization exercises). The assessment is based on changes in muscular activity on the back and upper extremities, back and upper extremity postures, feelings of discomfort, and work performance.

Rating of perceived discomfort
Časové okno: Change from baseline (0 min) to directly after (90 min) each experimental condition
|
Discomfort will be assessed using an 11-point numeric rating scale, ranging from 0 (no discomfort at all) to 10 (maximally imaginable discomfort).
It will be assessed directly before and directly after each experimental condition.

Root-mean-square of electrical muscle activity recordings using electromyography
Časové okno: Average root-mean-square of muscle activity over the time period running from baseline (0 min) to directly after (90 min) each experimental condition
|
Selected target muscles in the arms (deltoid acromialis, extensor digitorum, flexor carpi radialis), shoulder (trapezius descendens) and back (erector spinae lumbalis) will be continuously recorded with electromyography.
From the electromyographic signal, the root-mean-square will be calculated and averaged over the time period in each experimental condition.
