The purpose of this study was to assess the effect of using a combination of stretching and Brain Gym(BG) + Touch for Health (TfH) movements to reduce fatigue and musculoskeletal complaints (MSCs) in garment-sewing operators. A quasi-experimental study was performed on 53 respondents with two sessions of stretching movements and BG + TfH movements of 5 min duration, three times a week for four weeks. Fatigue was measured using a reaction timer and MSCs were measured using a Nordic Body Map questionnaire. Wilcoxon and Mann-Whitney U tests were performed to examine the differences of pre/post and between the intervention group (IG) and control group (CG). A significant difference was found in IG for pre- and post-fatigue ( < 0.001) and MSCs ( < 0.001), while in CG there was no difference in fatigue ( = 0.200) and MSCs ( = 0.086). Significant differences were found between the IG and CG groups in terms of fatigue ( = 0.046), as well as in MSCs ( < 0.001). A significant decrease in MSCs per part body in IG was found on the left wrist, left hand, and left knee. The percentage of MSC severity decreased in all parts of the body, except the right shoulder, left elbow, and right thigh.
本研究旨在评估伸展运动与 Brain Gym（BG）+Touch for Health（TfH）运动相结合，以减轻缝纫工的疲劳和肌肉骨骼投诉（MSCs）的效果。对 53 名受访者进行了一项准实验研究，他们接受了为期四周、每周三次、每次 5 分钟的伸展运动和 BG + TfH 运动。使用反应计时器测量疲劳，使用北欧身体映射问卷测量 MSCs。使用 Wilcoxon 和 Mann-Whitney U 检验来检查干预组（IG）和对照组（CG）之间的差异。IG 在疲劳（<0.001）和 MSCs（<0.001）方面存在显著差异，而 CG 在疲劳（=0.200）和 MSCs（=0.086）方面没有差异。IG 和 CG 组在疲劳（=0.046）和 MSCs（<0.001）方面存在显著差异。IG 组在左腕、左手和左膝的 MSCs 每部分身体均有显著减少。除了右肩、左肘和右大腿之外，身体各部位的 MSC 严重程度百分比均有所下降。
