Where this comes from

Abstract

Wearable inertial sensors can be used for assessment of surgeon body motion during arthroscopy, with demonstrated macroergonomic differences observed between novices and experts during diagnostic arthroscopy of a right cadaver knee. Before the adoption of arthroscopy training benchmarks based on inertial sensor technology, validation research should cross-correlate ergonomic variables with surgical quality.
