The following thesis investigates the impact of muscular endurance-building and strengthening exercises on the suturing performance among novices (n = 16). This study focuses on simple interrupted and simple continuous suturing techniques and involves exercises targeting the hands, wrists, fingers, and forearms. To reduce the amount of muscular pain and fatigue medical professionals experience while suturing, researchers augmented novices over a nine- week-long study through ergonomic intervention. Here, experimental participants performed many exercises using an adjustable hand gripper in conjunction with regular suturing practice.During Weeks 4 and 9, all participants completed a 60-minute simulated long operation (SLO), and their discomfort was assessed in the aforementioned areas. This study aimed to assess whether ergonomic interventions could reduce the perceived level of muscular pain and/or fatigue after a four-week duration.Ultimately, researchers found no statistical significance; however, after being exposed to consistent resistance training, experimental participants experienced the following: a) a 45% (n = 5) decrease in distance between the final two complete sutures, b) a 45% (n = 5) increase in their pinch MVC on both their dominant and non-dominant hand, c) a 72% (n = 8) increase in their grip MVC on both their dominant and non-dominant hand, and d) a reduction in pain in the webbing of the hand, fingers, and forearm after undergoing an ergonomic intervention. These findings suggest that consistent resistance training may benefit medical professionals in reducing feelings of perceived pain and fatigue in the hands, wrists, fingers, and forearms during operations. Further examination is necessary to identify the exact muscles impacted, and certain limitations must be addressed beforehand to accomplish this.
