Low Back Pain Clinical Trial
Official title:
Effect of Exercise Training and Ergonomic Modification on Musculoskeletal Disorders Among Office Workers
Background:Musculoskeletal discomforts (MSD), especially in the neck, lower back and
shoulder areas, are some of the most common issues among office workers. The Social Security
Organization (SOCSO) in Malaysia caps number of cases involving musculoskeletal injuries at
a maximum of 10,000 per year.
Objectives: The primary aims of this research were to: 1. Measure the prevalence of MSD in a
sample of office workers; 2. Test effective methods of reducing lower back, neck and
shoulder pain in this sample by training exercise, or ergonomics modification, or both of
them; and 3. Assess discomfort scores and the range of motion of the lower back, neck and
shoulder muscles among the office workers after undertaking the different methods for a
period of 6 months.
Methods: In a true experimental design, from 10,000 staff in Telecom Malaysia,onehundred and
forty two office workers (of whom 50 were male), aged 20-50 y, were allocated randomly, from
3 different locations (Bangsar, Puchung, and Damansara), to one of three intervention groups
(receiving training exercise, receiving modified ergonomics, receiving a combination of
exercise and ergonomics modification) and a control group (receiving none of these
interventions). The Cornell MSD Questionnaire was used to measure musculoskeletal
discomforts, with focus on pain severity, before treatment and after 2, 4 and 6 months of
the interventions. The range of motion (ROM) of the hip, neck, shoulder and knee were
measured by a 12 inch goniometer, and the Borg CR10 scale was used to measure the perceived
exertion of training exercises. The rapid office strain assessment (ROSA) questionnaire was
used to assess the strain associated with office work. Height and weight were also measured
to calculate the body mass index (BMI).
It is expected that, 6 months intervention including exercise training, ergonomic modification and mixture of these 2 intervention, maybe can decrease the severity of pain in lower back, neck and shoulder among office workers. ;
