Reflected Vision in Surgical Practice-A Novel Method to Circumvent Posture-Related Musculoskeletal Disorders

Abnormal neck posture while working is a crucial factor that predisposes to incidence of musculoskeletal disorders amongst oral and maxillofacial surgeons. The related spectrum of clinical symptoms may range from severe pain in the lower and upper back, neck and TMJ to neurological deficits of the hand and wrist. These posture-related problems may be prevented by use of reflected vision that ensures a balanced neck posture during surgical procedures.
