Endoscopy staff – including gastroenterologists, endoscopy nurses, technicians and others –  face substantial risk of musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs), injuries caused by the repeating physical demands of colonoscopy and other endoscopy procedures. Frequently utilized, labor-intensive, tasks such as applying manual abdominal pressure or patient repositioning to address looping – the most common complication in colonoscopy –  can lead to staff experiencing post-procedure pain or even long-term, chronic injuries.
