In this study, we aimed to determine the relationship between spinal posture and pain in female workers with pain complaints through posture analysis using video recordings, with the goal of establishing a foundation for corrective exercise programs.
The subjects of the study, female workers at Company H's call center, were divided into non-pain (n = 17), neck-shoulder pain (n = 17), and low back pain (n = 16) groups. The differences between groups and the relationship between angles were analyzed by measuring seven body angles related to posture, which were recorded via video of each participant in both sitting and standing positions.
Significant differences were observed between the neck-shoulder pain and non-pain groups in the neck slope angle (sitting and standing), upper cervical angle (sitting), and thoracic spine angle (sitting and standing). Moreover, there were significant differences between the low back pain and non-pain groups in the neck slope and lumbar spine angles in the sitting position.
The neck slope angle is an important indicator of the relationship between spinal posture and pain. These findings suggest that corrective exercises targeting forward head posture may help alleviate both neck-shoulder and low back pain.
在本研究中，我们旨在通过使用录像进行姿势分析，确定有疼痛主诉的女性工作者的脊柱姿势与疼痛之间的关系，为矫正运动计划奠定基础。
本研究的受试者为H公司客服中心的女性工作者，分为无痛组（n = 17）、颈肩痛组（n = 17）和腰痛组（n = 16）。通过测量与姿势相关的七个身体角度来分析组间差异和角度之间的关系，这些角度通过每位参与者坐姿和站姿的视频进行记录。
颈肩痛组与无痛组在颈部倾斜角度（坐姿和站姿）、上颈椎角度（坐姿）和胸椎角度（坐姿和站姿）方面存在显著差异。此外，腰痛组与无痛组在坐姿时的颈部倾斜和腰椎角度方面存在显著差异。
颈部倾斜角度是脊柱姿势与疼痛之间关系的重要指标。这些发现表明，针对头部前倾姿势的矫正运动可能有助于缓解颈肩痛和腰痛。
