3D Kinematics of Surgeons' Upper-Arm Rotation in Laparoscopy

Oral presentation using inertial measurement units (Xsens MVN BIOMECH) to define, via Euler angles, the posture of the upper arm with respect to the trunk during laparoscopic surgery, comparing a conventional axial-handled needle holder with a robotic handheld needle holder. Builds on an earlier 3D-videogrammetry-based study of the same research line presented at the 5º Congresso Nacional de Biomecânica, Espinho, 2013.
