  ABSTRACT: To determine the dynamic physical strain exerted on an individual during work, an evaluation of all physical performances is necessary. For surgeons, sustaining healthy ergonomics is essential, particularly for cases requiring long standing hours. Indeed, the absence of proper ergonomics may lead to multiple musculoskeletal issues. Failure to check these problems may lead to future degenerative changes and eventually career-ending damages. Pain among surgeons is expected since they spend many hours caring for patients that they ignore their health, standing for prolonged hours. Lack of attention to work ergonomics often leads to work-related muscle pain and increased risk of problems.
