Doctors seem to never get sick—at least when it comes to infections or viruses, as healthcare workers often develop strong immunity.
However, surgeons face real risks of muscle and joint strain due to the physical demands of their work:
- Repetitive motions that cause fatigue and discomfort
- Long hours of standing during surgeries
- Holding constrained positions, often leading to significant muscle tension
Using an exoskeleton offers an innovative way to support surgeons and protect their musculoskeletal health over the long term.
