A medical instrument system is provided. The medical instrument system includes an instrument manipulator configured to control a pose of a medical instrument with respect to a patient anatomy. The medical instrument system further includes a support structure configured to control a pose of the instrument manipulator. The medical instrument system further includes a control system including a processor. The control system is configured to: receive data for determining a shape of a length of the medical instrument; compare the shape of the length of the medical instrument with a threshold value; determine if the shape of the length of the medical instrument is beyond the threshold value; and provide instructions for adjusting a position of the instrument manipulator based on the determination.
