Brief Summary:
BackgroundMusculoskeletal discomforts MSD especially in the neck lower back and shoulder areas are some of the most common issues among office workers The Social Security Organization SOCSO in Malaysia caps number of cases involving musculoskeletal injuries at a maximum of 10000 per year
Objectives The primary aims of this research were to 1 Measure the prevalence of MSD in a sample of office workers 2 Test effective methods of reducing lower back neck and shoulder pain in this sample by training exercise or ergonomics modification or both of them and 3 Assess discomfort scores and the range of motion of the lower back neck and shoulder muscles among the office workers after undertaking the different methods for a period of 6 months
Methods In a true experimental design from 10000 staff in Telecom Malaysiaonehundred and forty two office workers of whom 50 were male aged 20-50 y were allocated randomly from 3 different locations Bangsar Puchung and Damansara to one of three intervention groups receiving training exercise receiving modified ergonomics receiving a combination of exercise and ergonomics modification and a control group receiving none of these interventions The Cornell MSD Questionnaire was used to measure musculoskeletal discomforts with focus on pain severity before treatment and after 2 4 and 6 months of the interventions The range of motion ROM of the hip neck shoulder and knee were measured by a 12 inch goniometer and the Borg CR10 scale was used to measure the perceived exertion of training exercises The rapid office strain assessment ROSA questionnaire was used to assess the strain associated with office work Height and weight were also measured to calculate the body mass index BMI

Detailed Description:
It is expected that 6 months intervention including exercise training ergonomic modification and mixture of these 2 intervention maybe can decrease the severity of pain in lower back neck and shoulder among office workers
