About this trial

Primary Aim: Assess improvement in ergonomics and musculoskeletal discomfort with the Surgistep compared to a standard footstool.

Eligibility criteria

This trial accepts healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Regularly perform neurosurgical procedures (cranial/spine)

Willing to use both devices (multiple times each).

Disqualifiers

Severe MSK conditions preventing device usage

Inability/refusal to participate in observation or surveys.

Trial design

Design model

Crossover

Treatments tested in this trial

SurgiStep Platform
Device
The Surgistep (pedal-controlled, adjustable platform) allows real-time height adjustment during surgery. The surgeons can adjust the height of the platform.
Standard Foot stool
Device
Foot stool is considered as the standard of care during surgery.

Treatment groups

10 Participants

are divided into 2 treatment groups

Group A: SurgiStep PlatformExperimental treatment 2 interventions

Group B: Standard surgical practicePlacebo comparator 2 interventions

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

Rapid Entire Body Assessment (REBA) Scale Score

The REBA (Rapid Entire Body Assessment) score, used to assess the risk of musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) in work tasks, ranges from 1 to 15. A lower REBA score indicates a lower risk, with scores below 4 considered to have minimal risk. Higher scores indicate increased risk, with scores of 8 or more indicating a high risk that requires immediate attention and intervention

Time frame

During the surgery upto 60 minutes

Rapid Upper Limb Assessment (RULA) Scale Score

The RULA (Rapid Upper Limb Assessment) scale ranges from 1 to 7, with lower scores indicating lower risk and higher scores indicating higher risk of musculoskeletal disorders.

Time frame

During the surgery upto 60 minutes
