Despite growing awareness, there remains a lack of detailed data on the specific postures that contribute to ergonomic risk, particularly within General Surgery. This study aims to characterise postures encountered during open, laparoscopic, and robotic gastrointestinal procedures using wearable sensor technology and video analysis, to inform future ergonomic interventions and training.\n\nA single-centre, prospective observational study of 30 surgical cases will be conducted at University Hospitals Plymouth NHS Trust. Participating surgeons will wear inertial measurement units (IMUs) to record real-time body segment position data whilst performing live surgery. A biomechanical model will then be used to calculate joint angles and whole body posture. Video recordings will be synchronised with IMU data to map posture to surgical tasks. Static and dynamic postures will be analysed using standard ergonomic assessment tools. Alternative tools tailored to surgery will be assessed and proposed. Surgeons will complete questionnaires pre- and post-operatively to report musculoskeletal symptoms. Outcomes will compare ergonomic risk across surgical techniques, identify high-risk procedural steps, and assess the acceptability of wearable technologies in the operating theatre. The data generated will also be used to evaluate, train or refine artificially intelligent camera-based pose estimation models for the operating theatre environment in order to make future ergonomics research and assessment more accessible.",[29,40,66],"Posture",[68,40,69,70,71,72,73,66,74,75],"Surgeons","OR","Operating Room","Operating Theatre","Work Related Musculoskeletal Disorders","Strain","IMU","Computer vision","NOT_YET_RECRUITING","2025-04-14",{"date":79,"type":45},"2025-04-22",{"date":81,"type":21},"2025-06-01",{"date":83,"type":21},"2026-08",{"name":85,"class":52},"University Hospital Plymouth NHS Trust"]
