To evaluate the effects of physical activity program in healthcare workers with low back pain (LBP).
A group of healthcare workers participated voluntarily to a meeting about LBP and to be accepted, were randomly allocated to workplace program or to home-based exercises, illustrated in a booklet and in a video available on the company intranet website. Both programs consisted in 7 weeks of moderate intensity exercises adapted to LBP.
Most outcomes improved in both groups, however with larger improvement of the Oswestry Disability Index in the workplace group (P = 0.02).
Regular physical exercise, at home or at the workplace among healthcare workers with LBP, represents a great opportunity to improve health and reduce disability.
评估针对低背痛(LBP)的医疗保健工作者体育活动方案的效果。
一组医疗保健工作者自愿参加了关于 LBP 的会议,他们被随机分配到工作场所方案或家庭运动方案,方案内容包括一本小册子和公司内联网网站上的视频,内容为适应 LBP 的中强度运动。
两个组的大多数结果都有所改善,但在工作场所组的 Oswestry 残疾指数改善更大(P=0.02)。
对于患有 LBP 的医疗保健工作者来说,无论是在家中还是在工作场所进行定期体育锻炼,都是改善健康和减少残疾的绝佳机会。
