Doctors never get sick, it seems. This may be true for viral diseases and infections because the figures show that healthcare workers develop a real arsenal of antibodies against these ailments. However, surgeons are extremely vulnerable to musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) due to the movements inherent in their profession:
Repetitive movements that lead to fatigue and pain
Prolonged standing during long days of operations
Maintaining constraining positions is often a source of intense muscle tension
Wearing an exoskeleton proves to be an innovative solution to substantially preserve the health of surgeons.
