The aim of this study was to evaluate a tailored physical activity protocol performed in a work environment with a group of female workers employed in manual precision tasks to reduce upper limb pain.
Sixty female subjects were randomly assigned to an intervention group or a control group. The IG was administered of a 6-month, twice-a-week, tailored exercise program, whereas the CG received no intervention.
The IG showed a reduction on shoulder pain accompanied by increases on the range of motion measures. In addition, reductions in upper limb pain and neck disability were detected with concomitant increases in grip strength.
This study indicated positive effects of a tailored workplace exercise protocol in female workers exposed to moderate risk for work-related musculoskeletal disorders, showing clinically meaningful reductions of pain symptoms and disability on upper limb and neck regions.
本研究旨在评估一项针对从事手工精密任务的女性工人的工作环境量身定制的体育活动方案,以减轻上肢疼痛。
60名女性受试者被随机分配到干预组或对照组。干预组接受为期6个月、每周两次的量身定制的锻炼计划,而对照组不接受干预。
干预组肩部疼痛减轻,同时运动范围测量值增加。此外,上肢疼痛和颈部功能障碍减轻,握力随之增加。
本研究表明,针对有中度工作相关肌肉骨骼疾病风险的女性工人,量身定制的工作场所锻炼方案具有积极效果,上肢和颈部区域的疼痛症状和功能障碍在临床上有显著减轻。
