Study Summary
The goal of this randomized control trial is to learn if physical therapy coaching and education improves work-related muscle pain in surgeons more than education alone. The main focuses of this study are to: 1. To evaluate pain in surgeons before and after surgical cases. 2. To evaluate work-load related stress in surgeons after surgical cases. 3. To evaluate surgeons' quality of life. 4. To evaluate surgeons' grip strength. Participants will be put into two groups at random. One group will watch an educational video only. The other group will watch an educational video and get a coaching session from a physical therapist.
Primary Outcome
Surgeons receiving personalized education and a physical activity plan will report less pain (as assessed by the Brief Pain Index). The BPI measures pain on a 0-10 scale with higher scores meaning worse outcomes.
Interventions
- OTHER Educational video on ergonomics
- OTHER Verbal physical therapy coaching sessions
