An ergonomic device for supporting a user during prolonged standing including: a main support, a base attachable to a distal point of the main support, a pelvic support attachable to the main support at a proximal point, a secondary support attachable between an intermedial point of the main support and the base. The user is supported from the front by the pelvic support while standing on the base.

A body-worn device for flexibly supporting a body part such as the head in a hunched over position such as when a surgeon performs surgery. The device can include a head harness connected to a torso harness by a specialized oblong variable stiffness beam that extends upwardly along the back of the spine of the wearer. The beam can include a variable stiffness member having a complex tapered geometry. The member can be made from a unitary piece of fiber composite material wherein the orientations of the fibers are varied to provide both bending and torsional strength and stiffness that varies along the length of the member. The beam and harnesses can include a plurality of interconnected mechanisms to provide greater adjustability.

A veterinary procedure table system includes a procedure table having an animal support surface assembly supported by a vertical column, wherein the animal support surface assembly is movable between first and second tilted orientations, and wherein the animal support surface assembly is movable between a first animal support surface height position and a second animal support surface height position, and a back table coupled to the vertical column of the procedure table, wherein the back table is movable between a first position relative to the procedure table and a second positon relative to the procedure table, wherein the back table moves with the animal support surface assembly between the first animal support surface height position and the second animal support surface height position, and wherein the back table does not tilt with the animal support surface assembly between the first tilted orientation and the second tilted orientation.

Systems and methods of providing an attendant support on an operating table include obtaining a cushion presenting an attendant support surface and coupling the cushion to a rail of the operating table such that the attendant support surface of the cushion is oriented at least partially laterally outward from the rail. The attendant support surface is operable to provide support to an attendant positioned adjacent to and leaning against the operating table.

An input control device is disclosed. The input control device can be configured to operate in different modes depending on proximity data provided by a proximity detection system. The input control device can include a feedback generator configured to generate feedback in response to the input control device switching between operational modes, the proximity data provided by the proximity detection system, and/or other conditions of the surgical procedure, robotic surgical tool, surgical site, and/or patient. The input control device can include a variable resistance assembly for resisting input control motions applied to an actuator thereof. Additionally or alternatively, the input control device can include an end effector actuator assembly for repositioning the end effector actuator based on feedback from a paired robotic surgical tool.

A method performed by a surgical robotic system that includes a seat that is arranged for a user to sit and a display column that includes at least one display for displaying a three-dimensional (3D) surgical presentation. The method includes receiving an indication that the user has manually adjusted the seat and in response, determining, while the user is sitting on the seat, a position of the user's eyes, determining a configuration for the display column based on the determined position of the user's eyes, and adjusting the display column by actuating one or more actuators of the display column according to the determined configuration.
