Minimal invasive surgery presents workplace design challenges. Ergonomic analysis and a CAD-based virtual reality simulation with an anthropometric model can optimize surgical environments.

Area of Science:

  • Ergonomics
  • Surgical Technology
  • Human Factors Engineering

Background:

  • The integration of minimal invasive operating techniques into conventional surgical systems introduces novel challenges.
  • Ergonomic investigations are crucial for understanding and addressing these challenges in the surgical worksystem.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze the problems arising from minimal invasive surgery.
  • To optimize workplace design for minimal invasive surgical procedures.

Main Methods:

  • Conducting ergonomic investigations focusing on working postures, static load, and task sequence analysis.
  • Developing a Computer-Aided Design (CAD)-based Virtual Reality (VR) simulation environment.
  • Integrating an anthropometric man-model into the VR simulation.
