Abstract

The prevalence of low back pain (LBP) in Indonesia is increasing with age and deviant behavior in the workplace. If people are not aware of the vulnerability they feel, it can lead to deformities and disabilities as perceived severity. So that behavior changes with motivation for public health. This study aims to analyze the relationship between personal and work factors and the perception of LBP. This type of research is a cross sectional quantitative research. The research location is in Sukoharjo, Central Java. The sampling technique was purposive non-random sampling with a total sample of 120 respondents. Data were collected using questionnaires, then analyzed using multiple linear regression tests. The results of bivariate analysis showed that personal factors had a positive and significant correlation with the perception of LBP incidence (r=0.549, p<0.001). Occupational factors had a positive and significant correlation with the perception of LBP incidence (r = 0.680, p<0.000). Personal and occupational factors simultaneously affected the perception of LBP incidence with a p value of 0.000 and the contribution of these two variables to the perception of LBP incidence was 48.3%. It can be concluded that both partially and simultaneously, personal and occupational factors affect the perception of LBP incidence. Suggestions for further research are needed to explore other factors that influence the perception of LBP events. This is important to deepen understanding of the various aspects that can affect an individual's perception of LBP, including environmental, psychosocial, and lifestyle factors.

Abstract

Background: Upper trapezius muscle spasm pain often occurs due to excessive forward head posture and persistent muscle tension, thereby hindering functional activities. Various physiotherapy modalities are used to reduce pain, including Dry Needling (DN) and Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT). The purpose of this study was to compare the effectiveness of DN and LLLT in reducing upper trapezius muscle spasm pain. Methods: This study was an experiment with a two-group pre- and post-test design. A sample of 30 patients from the Physiotherapy Clinic at Dr. Ramelan Hospital in Surabaya was selected using simple random sampling and divided into two groups of 15 people each. Group I received DN intervention, while group II received LLLT for four weeks at a frequency of three times per week. The research instrument used the Visual Analog Scale (VAS), which has a reliability of 0.97 and validity of 0.925. Data analysis was performed using the paired sample t-test and independent sample t-test. Results: There was a significant difference between the VAS scores before and after treatment in both groups (p=<0.001). The pain reduction score was higher in the DN group (Δ=3.5) than in the LLLT group (Δ=1.75), proving that DN is more effective in reducing upper trapezius muscle spasm pain. Conclusion: DN is more effective than LLLT in reducing upper trapezius muscle spasm pain. DN intervention can be used as the primary choice in the management of neck muscle spasm and combined with therapeutic exercises for optimal results.
