Ergonomic Needs and Barriers for Exoskeleton Implementation in the OR

Musculoskeletal symptoms and injuries have adverse impacts on worker health and performance in surgical environments. Though the ergonomic risks in surgery are well-recognized, the mitigation of these risk factors is especially difficult in surgery due to the demanding work and restrictive work environment (e.g., sterility) that must prioritize patient safety. This webinar presents 1) ergonomics in the operating room and 2) facilitators and barriers to exoskeleton technology for surgical team members. The first speaker is Dr. Dimitrios Stefanidis, a professor of surgery and Chief of minimally invasive and bariatric surgery in the department of surgery at Indiana University School of Medicine. The second speaker is Dr. Denny Yu, an Assistant Professor of Industrial Engineering at Purdue University, and an Adjunct Assistant Professor of Surgery at Indiana University School of Medicine. https://purr.purdue.edu/publications/... https://medicine.iu.edu/faculty/26941... https://engineering.purdue.edu/IE/peo...
