Why the study?
Do intraoperative targeted stretching micro breaks (TSMB) reduce pain and enhance mental focus in surgeons?
Do intraoperative targeted stretching micro breaks (TSMB) reduce pain and enhance mental focus in surgeons?
Intraoperative targeted stretching micro breaks may improve surgeon physical function and mental focus without extending operative time.
May support TSMB for surgeon well-being; hypothesis-generating and requires RCTs before adoption.
Many surgeons are concerned about career-ending or limiting musculoskeletal pain. Intraoperative TSMB may represent a practical, effective means to reduce surgeon pain, enhance performance, and increase mental focus without extending operative time.
