Surgeon Core-strengthening Program as a Modifier for Exertion Associated With Vaginal Surgery

NCT06525701 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 18

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Work-related musculoskeletal pain and injury is a growing concern in surgery. Vaginal surgery has unique ergonomic risks, but no studies have addressed the potential for an exercise regimen to reduce physical strain by vaginal surgeons

OTHER

Execise Group

SCORE workout: eight exercises done sequentially: bicycles, balancing dog, windshield wipers, three-point plank, kayaker, super push-ups, bridge, and side plank. These workouts are modified from the core regimen recommended by Steve House and Scott Johnston in their book Training for the New Alpinism: A Manual for the Climber as Athlete (House 2014). Each exercise is done until fatigue: when the individual is no longer able to complete the exercise with good form. The participant then rests for approximately thirty to sixty seconds before beginning the next exercise. Passive stretching can be performed during the rest periods. The workout is complete at twenty minutes. Those individuals who complete all eight exercises in less than twenty minutes begin again with the first exercise (bicycles) and continue until reaching twenty minutes. The workout is thus adaptive-seamlessly increasing in repetitions as an individual's strength and endurance increase.

OTHER

Control Group

No additional exercises or tasks are requested of control participants. Control group participants will perform or not perform exercise as they otherwise would outside of the study.
