简要总结
This is a cross-sectional study that aims to determine the prevalence of low back pain in mothers of children with disabilities following the COVID-19 pandemic and to describe its relationship with exposure to the virus, handgrip strength, physical workload, and depression.
详细描述
Low back pain is a very common problem in mothers of children with disabilities. Musculoskeletal pain have been on the rise with COVID-19 but the effects of the pandemic on the prevalence of low back pain in mothers of children with disabilities have not been investigated. The relationship between handgrip strength and low back pain is well known. There are limited studies investigating handgrip strength or muscle strength in mothers of children with disabilities, and no studies examining the relationship between handgrip strength and low back pain.

时间窗: Baseline
A 19-item Likert scale with scores ranging from 0 to 4, developed to identify the load on the lumbar region during work activities. Higher scores indicate increased work load.
Handgrip strength measurement
时间窗: Baseline
This measurement was performed on the dominant hand while the participant was seated in a chair in the standard position defined by the American Hand Therapy Association. They were asked to squeeze the dynamometer as hard as possible. The average of three measurements taken at 30-second intervals was recorded in pounds.
