Employees often cannot monitor their locomotor status or measure physical and motor functions during working hours owing to time constraints. This study aimed to examine whether presenteeism can be improved through repetitive motor function measurements and individual feedback provided by professionals and company employees.
Participants underwent motor function measurements and completed a self-administered questionnaire. Presenteeism was assessed using the Single-Item Presenteeism Questionnaire (SPQ). Body composition was measured using the bioimpedance method to determine limb skeletal muscle mass, which was divided by height to calculate the Skeletal Muscle Mass Index. Dynamic balance capacity was evaluated using the two-step test, grip strength, and finger floor distance (FFD)-all individually measured by a physiotherapist. A self-administered questionnaire assessed the presence of pain and lifestyle habits. Repeat measurements were conducted 6 months later using the same test items and assessments of lifestyle and exercise statuses.
Of the 134 participants (aged 18-67 years), 70 (52.2%) completed the repeated measurements and were included in the analysis. The SPQ score improved from 13.1 ± 13.6% in the pre-survey to 10.7 ± 12.6% in the post-survey, indicating a trend of a 2.4% improvement. Regarding motor function, FFD demonstrated a significant improvement in flexibility, increasing from 3.1 ± 9.5 cm pre-survey to 4.6 ± 9.6 cm post-survey, with an average increase of 1.5 cm.
A behavioral change approach based on motor function measurements in employees significantly improved flexibility and showed a trend toward improved SPQ scores. Furthermore, the behavioral change group that initiated exercise demonstrated significant improvements in flexibility.
由于时间限制，员工在工作时间通常无法监测自身的运动状态或测量身体和运动功能。本研究旨在探讨通过重复性运动功能测量以及专业人员和公司员工提供的个人反馈，是否可以改善出勤主义现象。
参与者接受了运动功能测量并完成了一份自我管理问卷。使用单项出勤主义问卷（SPQ）评估出勤主义。采用生物电阻抗法测量身体成分以确定四肢骨骼肌质量，将其除以身高以计算骨骼肌质量指数。使用两步测试、握力和手指触地距离（FFD）评估动态平衡能力，所有这些均由物理治疗师单独测量。一份自我管理问卷评估疼痛的存在情况和生活习惯。6个月后使用相同的测试项目以及生活方式和运动状态评估进行重复测量。
在134名参与者（年龄18 - 67岁）中，70名（52.2%）完成了重复测量并纳入分析。SPQ得分从调查前的13.1±13.6%提高到调查后的10.7±12.6%，显示出改善2.4%的趋势。关于运动功能，FFD在灵活性方面有显著改善，从调查前的3.1±9.5厘米增加到调查后的4.6±9.6厘米，平均增加1.5厘米。
基于员工运动功能测量的行为改变方法显著提高了灵活性，并显示出SPQ得分改善的趋势。此外，开始运动的行为改变组在灵活性方面有显著改善。
