The aim of this study was to assess effects of exercise on shoulder musculoskeletal symptoms among employees with overhead assembly work exposures.
A voluntary workplace shoulder exercise program was offered to employees in two automotive assembly departments, while two similar departments served as controls. N = 76 total workers participated. Shoulder Rating Questionnaire (SRQ) and Discomfort of the Arm Shoulder and Hand (DASH) symptoms were queried monthly for 7 baseline months, followed by 6 months that included exercise.
SRQ scores were higher for exercisers than among controls in the 6 exercising months, but not in the baseline months. Although the group x month interaction was significant (P < 0.05), the temporal trend was inconsistent.
Exercise may have temporarily lessened decline in SRQ. It is not clear whether shorter term differences were clinically meaningful or predictive of longer term disability prevention.
本研究旨在评估运动对从事高架装配工作的员工肩部肌肉骨骼症状的影响。
为两个汽车装配部门的员工提供了一项自愿的工作场所肩部运动计划，同时两个类似部门作为对照。共有76名工人参与。在7个基线月每月询问肩部评分问卷（SRQ）和手臂、肩部和手部不适（DASH）症状，随后6个月包括运动。
在6个运动月中，运动者的SRQ得分高于对照组，但在基线月中并非如此。尽管组×月交互作用显著（P<0.05），但时间趋势不一致。
运动可能暂时减轻了SRQ的下降。尚不清楚短期差异在临床上是否有意义或能否预测长期残疾预防。
