🚨 #SurgErgoTip: Robotic console arm position💪 🔑Armrest height should be adjusted to keep hands near elbow height w/ 90-120° bicep angle 🔑Frequent use of clutch control to keep hands in center of working envelope w/ forearms on the rest (always be clutching!) fig c/o rdcu.be/c95Dn #surgsky #medsky

📣Bringing surgical ergonomics tips to #surgsky with #surgergotip ✴️Monitor position for laparoscopy/endoscopy 🔑Place monitor directly in front of the user, 3-6 ft away, slightly below eye level (~15°) for gaze-down viewing ✅Minimizes axial rotation & allows eye muscles to be in most relaxed state
