What is it about?
We use thermal images together with electromyography to assess the ergonomic features of surgical instruments in minimally invasive surgery

Why is it important?
Because the assessment of muscle activity is done without contact on the skin and allows you to evaluate large areas of the body without needing to predict which muscles are the ones that will take part in the activity
Perspectives
It is a little-explored research field and deserves attention for the possibilities that it presents
