We have developed the Sensorimotor Enhancing Suit (SEnS) and revealed that the SEnS can unload the load of one's upper limb and then improve the force perception capability. In this study, we develop a new version of SEnS for a laparoscopic surgery. The SEnS for the laparoscopic surgery was designed to unload the muscle effort around one's shoulder, and it also helps to maintain the appropriate posture for the surgery. We measured smoothness of motions during forceps manipulations when wearing the SEnS. The experimental results show that the SEnS can improve the smoothness of motions.
