For the prevention of musculoskeletal diseases (MSDs), stretch training can be a measure of the workplace health promotion (WHP) for office workers. This can lead to an increase in mobility and, ultimately, reduce or prevent MSD. The aim of the study was to examine a standardised and individualised stretch training on a device, specifically 'five Business', for the prevalence of MSD.
This study is a non-randomised control study.
WHP programme with clerical employees of a German car manufacturer.
252 (110 women; 142 men) subjects (median age of 44 ([Formula: see text] 21 years) finished the study successfully. Inclusion criteria included a full-time employment in the office workplace and subjective health.
The intervention group completed 22-24 training units of 10 min each on the 'five-Business' device two times a week for 12 weeks.
Data were collected in the form of a pre-post study Nordic Questionnaire.
After the intervention, significantly fewer subjects reported pain in the area of the neck (-17.79), shoulder (-11.28%), upper back (-14.7%), lower back (-12.78%) and feet (-8.51%). The gender analysis revealed that women are, in general, more often affected by musculoskeletal complaints than men, especially in the neck (+29.5%) and feet (+15.03%). Both sexes had significant reductions of MSD in the most commonly affected regions. Thus, 27.12% less women reported having neck pain, while 13.14% less men reported having low back pain.
The results suggest that a stretching programme performed for 3 months can reduce musculoskeletal complaints in the most commonly affected areas in office workers. Both men and women benefited from the stretch training to a similar extent, suggesting that this would be a promising measure for therapy and prevention as part of WHP.
为预防肌肉骨骼疾病(MSD),伸展训练可以作为办公室工作人员工作场所健康促进(WHP)的一项措施。这可以提高活动能力,最终减少或预防 MSD。本研究的目的是检查一种标准化和个体化的伸展训练设备,即“five Business”,对 MSD 的流行率的影响。
这是一项非随机对照研究。
德国汽车制造商的 WHP 计划,涉及文书员工。
252 名(110 名女性;142 名男性)受试者(中位数年龄 44 岁[公式:见正文]21 岁)成功完成了研究。纳入标准包括在办公室全职工作和主观健康。
干预组每周两次在“five-Business”设备上完成 22-24 个 10 分钟的训练单元,共 12 周。
数据以预-后研究北欧问卷的形式收集。
干预后,明显较少的受试者报告颈部(-17.79)、肩部(-11.28%)、上背部(-14.7%)、下背部(-12.78%)和脚部(-8.51%)疼痛。性别分析表明,女性总体上比男性更容易受到肌肉骨骼投诉的影响,尤其是在颈部(+29.5%)和脚部(+15.03%)。两性在最常见的受影响区域都有显著的 MSD 减少。因此,报告颈部疼痛的女性减少了 27.12%,报告下背部疼痛的男性减少了 13.14%。
结果表明,进行 3 个月的伸展计划可以减少办公室工作人员最常见的受影响区域的肌肉骨骼投诉。男性和女性都从伸展训练中受益,这表明这将是 WHP 中治疗和预防的一项有前途的措施。
