Abstract

Background: Femur fracture is damage to the continuity of the femur bone which can be caused by direct trauma, muscle fatigue, or certain other conditions such as bone degeneration/osteoporosis. Objective: The ORIF technique is a surgical technique used to treat fractures by installing internal fixation in the form of plates and screws or nails. Method: This study employed a case study design involving a 56-year-old patient with post-ORIF proximal femur fracture. Exercise therapy was administered over six sessions within three weeks. Outcome measures included the Visual Analog Scale (VAS), goniometer, Manual Muscle Testing (M-MMT), anthropometric measurements, Berg Balance Scale (BBS), 30-second Chair Stand Test, Harris Hip Score (HHS), and Barthel Index. The results were a reduction in tenderness and movement pain, an increase in lower extremity muscle strength and joint range of motion in the right hip, increased balance, endurance, and increased hip functional ability. However, no changes were found in their daily independence. Conclusion: Exercise therapy given to patients with post-ORIF femur fractures can help reduce tenderness and movement pain, increase lower extremity muscle strength, increase dextra hip ROM, increase endurance, and increase hip functionality. However, there is little change in ADL abilities.

Abstract

Study purpose. Work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs) are highly prevalent among office workers and have been associated with reduced work productivity. However, evidence examining both ergonomic risk and work productivity simultaneously among university employees remains limited, especially in developing countries. This study aimed to identify potential risk factors for WMSDs and examine their association with work productivity among university employees. Materials and methods. This exploratory cross-sectional study involved 30 university employees selected through purposive sampling. WMSDs were assessed using the Nordic Body Map (NBM), and productivity (including absenteeism and presenteeism) was measured with the World Health Organization-Health and Work Performance Questionnaire (HPQ). Ergonomic risk was evaluated using the Rapid Office Strain Assessment (ROSA). Data were analyzed with descriptive statistics, as well as Fisher’s Exact and Mann-Whitney U tests (p<0.05). Results. The most common WMSDs were low back pain (LBP) (70%), upper neck pain (UNP) (66.7%), and right shoulder pain (RSP) (53.3%). Ergonomic risk was significantly associated with LBP (p=0.021). UNP was associated with lower work performance (p=0.038) and increased absenteeism (p=0.013), while LBP was also associated with higher absenteeism (p=0.037). Conclusions. These findings suggest that WMSDs, particularly in the neck and lower back, are associated with reduced work productivity. Improving workplace ergonomics may help reduce these issues and enhance work performance.
