Extensive literature reports an increase in physical disorders (pain, pathologies, dysfunctions) and mental malaise/uneasiness (stress, burnout) affecting dental professionals in relation to fast and pressing rhythms of work, long working hours, increasingly demanding patients, ever-evolving technologies, etc. This project has been conceived to bring the science of yoga around the world to dental professionals as a preventive (occupational) medicine and to provide knowledge and means for self-care. Yoga is a concentrative self-discipline of the mind, senses, and physical body, that requires regular daily exercise (or meditation), attention, intention, and disciplined action. : The study aimed to design a Yoga protocol specifically devised for dental professionals (dentists, dental hygienists, and dental assistants) including positions () to be practiced/used in the dental office. The protocol is targeted for the upper body, namely neck, upper back, chest, shoulder girdle, and wrists, being areas greatly affected by work-related musculoskeletal disorders. This paper represents a yoga-based guideline for the self-cure of musculoskeletal disorders among dental professionals. The protocol includes both sitting ( position) and standing ( or position) , with twisting (), side bending (), flexion and forward bending (), and extension and arching () to mobilize and decompress, and to provide nourishment and oxygen to the musculo-articular system. The paper delivers different concepts and theories developed and deepened by the authors and introduces and spreads yoga as a medical science among dental professionals for the prevention and treatment of work-related musculoskeletal disorders. We articulate notions ranging from stretching out using the method (breath-driven movement) and inward-focused attention to contemplative/concentrative science, interoceptive attention, self-awareness, the mind-body connection, and receptive attitude. The theory of "muscles are bone ties" is coined and delivered with regard to tensegrity musculoskeletal fascial structures connecting, pulling together, and nearing the bone segments where they are anchored. The paper describes over 60 envisaged to be performed on dental stools or using the walls of a dental office or a dental unit chair. A detailed guideline on the work-related disorders that can find relief with the protocol is provided, including the description of breath control for the practice of in . The foundations of the technique reside in the method and method. This paper represents a guideline for self-cure in the prevention or treatment of musculoskeletal disorders affecting dental professionals. Yoga is a powerful concentrative self-discipline able to provide physical and mental well-being, representing great help and support in daily life and business for dental professionals. restores retracted and stiff muscles, giving relief to the strained and tired limbs of dental professionals. Yoga is not intended for flexible or physically performing persons but for people who decide to take care of themselves. The practice of specific epresents a powerful tool for the prevention or treatment of MSDs related to poor posture, forward head, chronic neck tension (and related headache), depressed chest, compressive disorders on wrists and shoulders as carpal tunnel, impingement syndromes, outlet syndrome, subacromial pain syndrome and spinal disc pathologies. Yoga, as an integrative science in medicine and public health, represents a powerful tool for the prevention and treatment of occupational musculoskeletal disorders and an extraordinary path for the self-care of dental professionals, sitting job workers, and healthcare providers suffering from occupational biomechanical stresses and awkward postures.
大量文献报道,由于工作节奏快且紧张、工作时间长、患者要求越来越高、技术不断发展等原因,牙科专业人员出现了身体疾病(疼痛、病变、功能障碍)和精神不适/不安(压力、职业倦怠)增加的情况。该项目旨在将瑜伽科学作为一种预防(职业)医学带给世界各地的牙科专业人员,并提供自我护理的知识和方法。瑜伽是一种对心灵、感官和身体的专注自律,需要每天定期锻炼(或冥想)、注意力、意图和自律行动。:该研究旨在设计一种专门为牙科专业人员(牙医、口腔保健员和牙科助理)制定的瑜伽方案,包括在牙科诊所中要练习/使用的姿势()。该方案针对上半身,即颈部、上背部、胸部、肩带和手腕,这些部位受与工作相关的肌肉骨骼疾病影响很大。本文代表了一种基于瑜伽的牙科专业人员肌肉骨骼疾病自我治疗指南。该方案包括坐姿(姿势)和站姿(或姿势),有扭转()、侧弯()、屈伸和前屈()以及伸展和拱背()动作,以活动和减压,并为肌肉关节系统提供营养和氧气。本文阐述了作者提出并深化的不同概念和理论,并在牙科专业人员中介绍和传播作为医学科学的瑜伽,以预防和治疗与工作相关的肌肉骨骼疾病。我们阐述了从使用方法(呼吸驱动运动)伸展到内向专注,再到沉思/专注科学、内感受性注意力、自我意识、身心联系和接受态度等概念。“肌肉是骨骼的纽带”这一理论是针对连接、拉合并靠近它们所附着的骨段的张拉整体肌肉骨骼筋膜结构而提出的。本文描述了60多种设想在牙科凳子上或利用牙科诊所的墙壁或牙科治疗椅进行的动作。提供了一份关于该方案可缓解的与工作相关疾病的详细指南,包括在中练习时呼吸控制的描述。该技术的基础在于方法和方法。本文代表了预防或治疗影响牙科专业人员的肌肉骨骼疾病的自我治疗指南。瑜伽是一种强大的专注自律,能够提供身心健康,对牙科专业人员的日常生活和工作有很大帮助和支持。瑜伽能恢复收缩和僵硬的肌肉,缓解牙科专业人员紧张和疲惫的四肢。瑜伽并非针对身体灵活或有运动能力的人,而是针对那些决定照顾自己的人。特定的练习是预防或治疗与不良姿势、头部前倾、慢性颈部紧张(及相关头痛)、胸部凹陷、手腕和肩部压迫性疾病(如腕管综合征、撞击综合征、胸廓出口综合征、肩峰下疼痛综合征和椎间盘病变)相关的肌肉骨骼疾病的有力工具。瑜伽作为医学和公共卫生领域的综合科学,是预防和治疗职业性肌肉骨骼疾病及牙科专业人员、久坐工作者和遭受职业生物力学压力及不良姿势的医疗保健人员自我护理的非凡途径。
