| Core Tip |
This surface electromyography study quantitatively reveals that complex intestinal loops during single-operator colonoscopy induce significant bilateral upper limb muscle strain, with the left extensor digitorum bearing the highest load. Rapid fatigue occurs in specific muscles during prolonged maneuvers. We propose evidence-based ergonomic solutions, including motor-assisted handles, variable-stiffness colonoscopes, and time-restricted operating protocols for high-risk loops, to mitigate occupational injuries and guide the design of next-generation endoscopic devices. |
