The operational movement can be rotational movement, but may be any movement 1-1 ---- that changes the orientation or configuration of the distal instrument. By conveying a linear force along the instrument channel rather IN than a twisting force, the problems of slipping and discontinuous operation of the distal instrument due to friction between the instrument C::::) and the instrument channel can be reduced or eliminated. ei O [Continued on next page] WO 2017/198673 Al MIDEDIMOMOIDEIROIDEMOMMHEIIMEIIMOVOIMIE SD, SE, SG, SK, SL, SM, ST, SV, SY, TH, TJ, TM, TN, TR, TT, TZ, UA, UG, US, UZ, VC, VN, ZA, ZM, ZW.
