Abstract:

When performing endoscopic operations, surgeons often have to take specific poses and be in a forced position of the body. At the same time, the musculoskeletal system experiences increased static and dynamic loads. The article provides an anatomical analysis of various poses and movements of endosurgeons. To reduce the risk of developing diseases of the musculoskeletal system, we have developed and proposed to use a robotic exoskeleton — surgical (REX-S).

Keywords:
