Filter by:The percentage of loss time claims receiving Loss of Earnings benefits at 3 months has continued to rise amongst injured workers in Ontario despite the Workplace Safety and Insurance Board (WSIB) approach of "Better at Work". The primary health services to address loss time claims associated with musculoskeletal injuries include the evidenced-based programs of care, occupational health assessment program and musculoskeletal specialty programs, however, these are set to be revised and relaunched in Q1 2023. Across treatment protocols there are challenges that, at least in part, appear to contribute to the increasing percentage of workers on full loss of earnings at 3 months include (1) inconsistent early identification of workers who should be triaged to various health services and (2) reliable determination of the optimal timing of referral to the most targeted care to enable a safe and sustainable return to work. The investigators aim to develop and evaluate a predictive assessment model to triage workers to the best service within the first 8 weeks of their claim to increase the rate of early return to work, with the long-term goal that the triage protocol becomes part of a person-centric protocol that reduces the duration of work-related disability. The investigators will develop and evaluate an assessment protocol for injured workers that enter any of the musculoskeletal-specific WSIB programs of care, which have been consolidated into a single program as of 2023. This study will be a prospective inception cohort design using data collected from injured workers receiving WSIB musculoskeletal programs of care services at CBI Health clinics in Ontario Canada. Worker data will be collected at intake to the program of care service and again approximately four and eight weeks after intake (or earlier if a worker completes the program of care). The investigators will complete data analysis in three steps including descriptive and bivariate associations, Maximum Likelihood-based Latent Profile Analysis, and evaluation of results against successful work outcomes and secondary outcomes. Qualitative data will be mined for alternative indicators of recovery / non-recovery. The study recruitment goal is 300 - 350 workers with complete follow-up within a 2-year period.
After the rapid increase in the use of the Internet in the world, it has brought some negativities.People with internet addiction describe all the time they spend without internet as worthless and they want to be on the internet with an increasing desire.
Chronic neck pain is a common problem among the general population. Patients with chronic neck pain used health care services twice as much as the population on average, mainly due to intense pain intensity. It is well-known that pain intensity depends on the association of pain processing in several levels of central pain processing. Identifying the association between conditioned pain modulation, temporal summation, and somatosensory representation, all represent separate central pain processing, will provide an opportunity to develop treatment strategies.
Our aim in this study is to examine the effectiveness of the Backup spine health device in spinal problems and compare it with traditional physical therapy methods.
To examine the effects of temporomandibular joint mobilization and exercises added to the conventional physiotherapy program on posture, functionality and muscular endurance in individuals with chronic neck pain.
The aim of the study is to examine the effects of graston and dry cupping techniques applied in addition to the conservative treatment program on neck awareness, grip strength, balance and sleep quality in patients with cervical disc herniation between the ages of 18-65.
This study was planned to examine the effect of Kinesio® Tex application on pain, functionality, sleep quality and work performance in drivers experiencing neck-back pain.
In this study, motor control exercises including cervical region, upper extremity and scapular region muscles will be applied routinely in individuals with chronic neck pain. The application will been investigating, called motor imagery training, will been carried out together with motor control exercises.
Mechanical neck pain is a prevalent problem in community and it can lead to disability. In current community, increasing of life stress on individual may lead to sleep disorders, mental and physical fatigue. Objectives of study is to investigate the effect of sleep quality, mental and physical fatigue on mechanical neck pain. Methods and Materials Two hundred thirty individuals were having mechanical neck pain . Neck disability index, chalder fatigue scale and Pittsburg sleep quality index were applied on all individuals participating in the study , NDI was used to determine the pain and functional disability of the participants , PSQI was used to assess the sleep quality, lastly the CFS was used to determine
This study aimed to compare the efficacy of online exercise therapy with conventional exercise therapy on pain, function, psychological status and work efficiency of young adults with chronic neck pain. A randomized clinical trial recruiting 39 university students with self-reported chronic neck pain was conducted. Participants were randomly assigned into the experimental group receiving online exercise therapy and the active control group receiving conventional exercise therapy. Participants in both groups completed the same exercise program 3 sessions per week for 6 weeks, with either face-to-face or online mode of delivery by physiotherapists. The pain level was assessed using visual analogue scale (VAS) based on average and at maximum intensity. Neck function and work limitations were assessed by the Neck Disability Index (NDI) and Work Limitations Questionnaire (WLQ) respectively. The Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) and its subscales (HADS-A and HADS-D) were used to evaluate the overall symptoms, levels of anxiety and depression respectively. Participants were assessed at baseline and at 6 weeks while the changes in WLQ were assessed biweekly. It is hypothesized that, young adults with chronic neck pain, both the online and conventional exercise interventions could improve their pain level, neck disability, anxiety state and work efficiency, and the online exercise intervention appeared feasible as an alternative treatment option for them.
