A possible revival of population-representing digital human manikins in static work situations - exemplified through an evaluation of a prototype console for robotic surgery.

WHAT IT FOUND

This paper is not clinical research.

It evaluates a digital human modelling tool for ergonomics in surgical console design. It reports no patient outcomes or therapeutic interventions, so there is nothing here to change clinical practice.

What this paper is

This is an engineering ergonomics paper evaluating a digital simulation tool (IMMA) and a surgical console prototype. It contains no clinical trial data, no patient outcomes, and no therapeutic interventions. There are no findings for physical, occupational, or speech therapists to act on.
