Abstract

This cross-sectional study aimed to investigate the relationship between thoracic kyphosis posture, shoulder function, work duration, and the occurrence of shoulder pain among academic staff at Universitas Muhammadiyah Sidoarjo. A purposive sampling technique was employed to select 21 participants. Thoracic posture was measured using an inclinometer, shoulder function was assessed using the Constant-Murley Score, and muscle strength was evaluated with a hand dynamometer grip power test. The results revealed a significant correlation between thoracic kyphosis posture, shoulder function, work duration, and the occurrence of shoulder pain (r: 0.7±0.001, r: 0.6±0.003, r: 0.8±0.001, respectively). This study highlights the crucial role of posture, shoulder function, and work duration in contributing to shoulder pain among academic staff, emphasizing the need for ergonomic interventions and preventive measures to promote musculoskeletal health in this population. Highlights: Significant Correlation: The study establishes a strong and significant correlation between thoracic kyphosis posture, shoulder function, and work duration with the occurrence of shoulder pain among academic staff. Functional Impact: Shoulder function, as assessed by the Constant-Murley Score, plays a pivotal role in the development of shoulder pain, shedding light on the importance of maintaining optimal shoulder mobility and strength. Ergonomic Implications: The findings underscore the need for targeted ergonomic interventions and preventive strategies to mitigate shoulder pain among academic staff, emphasizing the importance of promoting musculoskeletal well-being in prolonged static work settings.

Abstract

Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) are prevalent concerns among the elderly, particularly in occupations involving prolonged repetitive activities such as fishing and farming. This observational cross-sectional study aimed to identify and assess MSD complaints among active elderly fishermen and farmers in rural communities. A total of 50 participants aged 60-65 were surveyed using the Nordic Body Map (NBM) questionnaire to analyze changes in the distribution and severity of MSDs. Results indicated that 70% of respondents were in the 60-65 age group, predominantly male (76%), with females accounting for 24% (12 individuals). The analysis revealed a substantial prevalence of severe MSD complaints (46%), primarily manifested as lower back pain (52%). These findings highlight the significant burden of MSDs among elderly agricultural workers, emphasizing the need for targeted interventions and preventive strategies to enhance their well-being and quality of life. Highlights: High Prevalence: Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) exhibit a high prevalence among elderly agricultural workers engaged in repetitive tasks. Severe Impact: The study reveals a substantial proportion of elderly individuals experiencing severe MSDs, particularly lower back pain. Occupational Focus: The research sheds light on the specific challenges faced by aging farmers and fishermen, emphasizing the necessity for targeted interventions and preventive measures.

Abstract

Myogenic low back pain is one of the musculoskeletal disorders caused by dysfunction of muscles and supporting soft tissues such as tendons and ligaments. This condition is often associated with repetitive activities, excessive muscle use, and poor postural habits during daily activities. Myogenic low back pain can lead to reduced functional capacity and decreased productivity, therefore requiring appropriate and comprehensive management. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of a combination of physiotherapy interventions, particularly gluteus medius muscle activation exercises, in reducing pain and improving functional ability in a case of myogenic low back pain. This study used a case report design conducted in a private physiotherapy clinic. The subject of this study was a 22-year-old male diagnosed with myogenic low back pain who complained of pain during physical activities. The physiotherapy intervention program consisted of transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS), manual therapy in the form of muscle release techniques, and gluteus medius activation exercises. The intervention was administered twice a week for four weeks, totaling eight therapy sessions. The outcomes of the intervention were evaluated using the Visual Analog Scale and the Oswestry Disability Index. The results showed a reduction in pain intensity and an improvement in the patient’s functional activity after eight therapy sessions. These findings indicate that a physiotherapy approach combining electrotherapy modalities, manual therapy techniques, and muscle activation exercises can contribute positively to improving the clinical condition of patients with myogenic low back pain.

Abstract

Background: The activity of using a smartphone for a long time in a static position and bad posture, will result in Mechanical neck pain (MNP), which is known as a neck condition caused by change in the cervical curve to flatten due to overload on the muscles, ligaments, joints, and bones of the neck at the back and the muscles of the upper back and shoulders. The effectiveness of adding ultrasound to the McKenzie’s neck exercise (MNE) intervention to reduce MNP. Methods: The study used a quasi-experimental method with a pre and post-two-group design. The number of samples was 20 research subjects experiencing chronic non-specific MNP, not experiencing spondylolisthesis, fracture, and hernia nucleus pulposus in the cervical area. Group I was given the MNE and ultrasound, and group II was give MNE only. This research was conducted three times a week for four weeks at the Action and Hydrotherapy Laboratory. The measuring tool used is the northwick neck pain tool. Normality test using Shapiro Wilk test and homogeneity test using Lavene's test. Paired sample t-test was used to determine the effectiveness of the intervention of the two groups in reducing MNP, and an independent sample t-test was to see the difference in the effect of the intervention results of the two groups. Results: The characteristics of study respondents by age were in the average range of 19.7±0.9 years for group I and 19.6±0.6 years for group II. Based on other data, groups I and II decreased pain significantly after their respective treatments (p =0.04). There is no significant difference effect after interventions between the group I and group II (p >0.05). Conclusions: The program of MNE only effectively reduced MNP with the same good effect as the MNE with ultrasound therapy in subject with MNE. The addition of ultrasound to the MNE does not have a significant effect on pain reduction.
