Abstract
A method includes, while an operator of an elongated probe, having proximal and distal ends, manipulates the proximal end so as to move the distal end within a body of a patient, automatically measuring a cumulative angle of rotation that is applied by the operator to the proximal end. An indication of the cumulative angle of rotation is presented to the operator.
