简要总结
The objective of this study is to determine the differences between neck and shoulder region skeletal muscle tone, stifness, pain-pressure threshold, self-reported pain intensity and physical activity in female office workers. 50-100 participants aged 20-60 are anticipated.
详细描述
The objective of this study is to determine the differences between neck and shoulder region skeletal muscle tone, stifness, pain-pressure threshold, self-reported pain intensity and physical activity.
Participants: 50-100 subjects, all female, aged 20-60 are anticipated.
Methods: Skeletal muscle tone and stiffness are measured using myotonometry. Pain-pressure threshold is measured using algometry. Prevalence of neck and shoulder area musculoskeletal pain is recorded using Nordic questionnaire. Self-reported pain intensity is measured using VAS scale. Self-reported physical activity is recorded using Baecke physical activity questionnaire.
