Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Each survey will be sent via email using a secured third-party vendor, RedCap. Results will be retrieved only by the research assistants listed on the institutional review board (IRB). The survey will not ask for any identifying information and will not publish identifying information. The raw data will be analyzed by the PI and research assistant for publication. The study should take less than a year for data collection and analysis.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Intervention group
Cross over study so each participant will have 3 control days without intervention and 3 intervention days with stretching exercise.
Otolaryngology stretching micro-breaks (OSMB)
Standardized microbreak stretch that is designed to perform intraoperatively within the sterile field at medically convenient 20-40 min intervals throughout each procedure.
Control group
Cross over study so each participant will have 3 control days without intervention and 3 intervention days with stretching exercise.
No interventions assigned to this group
