First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study looked at whether adding a personalized exercise program (50 minutes per week via an app) to standard ergonomic advice could reduce muscle and joint pain in abdominal and pelvic surgeons. 83 surgeons took part in a 20-week trial. The goal was to see if the exercise program was better than ergonomic tips alone for easing or preventing pain.
