“…In their research, Wiggerman and Keyserling demonstrated the positive effect of cushioned floor mats and their effect on discomfort relief and better work performance [34]. Their use in endoscopy can be beneficial to all endoscopists, despite not being a "true" endoscopic accessory connected to endoscope redesign or function [35]. Standing in cushioned insoles has been suggested to create subtle muscular movement, reducing musculoskeletal pain, improving blood flow and decreasing discomfort and fatigue [36].…”

GI endoscopy forms an important part in the daily practice of a gastroenterologist. Musculoskeletal injuries related to GI endoscopy are on the rise. Observational studies and surveys depict the importance of a proper ergonomic environment when performing GI endoscopy. Our aim is to describe the pathophysiology, risk factors and possible preventive measures to reduce the risk of musculoskeletal injuries during gastrointestinal (GI) endoscopy. We review the most relevant studies that outline the gravity of the problem. A detailed analysis of proposed ergonomic recommendations is performed, outlining crucial steps in injury prevention. Proper ergonomic education is a key step in preventing occupational injury. Robotics and other mechanical solutions offer a variety of approaches to tackling the ergonomic challenge. Implementing proper ergonomic education and mechanical solutions lowers the possibility of occupational injury. The strategies and appliances presented are beneficial to all GI endoscopy practitioners.

Purpose In certain industrial operations, workers are required to stand for a prolonged duration. This leads to muscular fatigue in the legs, posing a threat to the productivity and well-being of the workers. This paper aims to address this problem of women in the clothing industry with an exoskeleton designed for lower extremities and improve productivity. Design/methodology/approach Ulrich’s product design approach has been followed with suitable modifications. The methodology involves a study to justify the need for this product and terminating at the physical and virtual evaluations of the product. Required anthropometric parameters are considered along the design process. Findings The exoskeleton discussed in this paper is an innovative product made of Aluminium 6061 alloy. During the simulation phase of the product, total von-mises stresses to a part bearing 1 leg were 31.5 MPa, 94.7 MPa and 284 MPa for aluminium, SS308 and springs, respectively. These values are below the yield limit by a great margin. Based on a user survey of this product, 72% of the targeted customers were interested in buying. Also, comparing electromyography (EMG) mean value of the voltage between workers’ leg with and without exoskeleton revealed that there was an improvement in the voltage by 2.5% when exoskeleton was used. Originality/value This paper emphasizes, for the first time – the necessity of an exoskeleton indigenized for the Indian population and the process of realizing it by designing an exoskeleton.

Prison populations have higher levels of bloodborne viruses with consequently higher risks of cross-infection. This study assessed infection prevention and occupational hazards in prison dental surgeries in the Brazilian state of Pará. Investigations were undertaken by a single examiner in 11 prison clinics. Manual washing of instruments with no detergents and dry heat sterilization were the main instrument decontamination methods used. Most surgeries had insufficient instruments for daily clinical work requirements. Half of dentists interviewed worked single-handed with no documented policies or health and safety procedures.
