简要总结
This interventional study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of an office worker's program in reducing low back pain and improving physical and psychosocial outcomes among office employees. The primary objective is to determine the effects of the intervention on pain, lumbar posture, muscle physiology (including core stability, flexibility, fatigue, and endurance), ergonomics, stress levels, and quality of life across different intervention groups.
Participants will be assigned to one of three groups:
Group 1: Exercise program, posture education, and standing advice Group 2: Posture education and standing advice Group 3: standing advice only The study will compare outcomes between groups to identify which combination of interventions provides the greatest benefits for office workers with a tendency to experience low back pain.
详细描述
Research question: Is there any effect of office worker's program on pain intensity, lumbar posture, muscle physiology, ergonomics, stress and quality of life among office workers with low back pain? Research objective: To determine the effect of office worker's program on pain intensity, lumbar posture, muscle physiology, ergonomics, stress and quality of life Research hypothesis: There is significance different on pain intensity, lumbar posture, muscle physiology, ergonomics, stress and quality of life

结局指标
主要结局
Numeric Rating Scale for pain
时间窗: Baseline and Week 12
Pain intensity will be assessed using the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS), an 11-point scale from 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst possible pain). Participants will rate their average low back pain at baseline and after the 12-week intervention. Changes in NRS scores will be compared across groups.
次要结局
- Flexible curve to measure Lumbar posture(Baseline and Week 12)
- Sphygmomanometer Pressure Test to measure Core Stability(Baseline and Week 12)
- Short Form-36 (SF-36) to measure quality of life(Baseline and Week 12)
- Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) to measure stress(Baseline and Week 12)
- Rapid Office Strain Assessment (ROSA) to measure ergonomics(Baseline and Week 12)
- Lumbar Trunk Muscle Endurance Tests to measure endurance(Baseline and Week 12)
- Surface Electromyography (sEMG) to measure muscle fatigue(Baseline and Week 12)
- Sit-and-Reach Test to measure flexibility(Baseline and Week 12)
