Background
Low back pain (LBP) is common among office workers and is the most common cause of work-related disability in people under 45 years of age. The aetiology of LBP is widely accepted to be multi-factorial. Prognostic research into office workers at risk of developing LBP has received limited attention. The aims of this study were to develop a risk score to identify office workers likely to have LBP and to evaluate its predictive power. 相似文献2.

Background
This article describes the background and study design of the PROMO study (Prospective Research on Musculoskeletal disorders in Office workers). Few longitudinal studies have been performed to investigate the risk factors responsible for the incidence of hand, arm, shoulder and neck symptoms among office workers, given the observation that a large group of office workers might be at risk worldwide. Therefore, the PROMO study was designed. The main aim is to quantify the contribution of exposure to occupational computer use to the incidence of hand, arm, shoulder and neck symptoms. The results of this study might lead to more effective and/or cost-efficient preventive interventions among office workers. 相似文献3.

Background
Complaints of arm, neck and/or shoulders (CANS) affects millions of computer office workers. However its prevalence and associated risk factors in developing countries are yet to be investigated, due to non availability of validated assessment tools for these countries. We evaluated the 1-year prevalence of CANS among computer office workers in Sri Lanka and tested the psychometric properties of a translated risk factor questionnaire. 相似文献4.

STUDY DESIGN: A 3-year prospective cohort study among 1334 workers was conducted. OBJECTIVE: To determine whether the work-related psychosocial factors of quantitative job demands, conflicting job demands, skill discretion, decision authority, supervisor support, coworker support, and job security are risk factors for neck pain. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA: Among the various risk factors for neck pain, work-related psychosocial factors play a major role. Previous studies on risk factors for neck pain often had a cross-sectional design, and did not take both physical and psychosocial factors into account. METHODS: At baseline, data on work-related psychosocial factors were collected by means of a questionnaire. During the 3-year follow-up period, data on the occurrence of neck pain were collected by means of postal questionnaires. Individuals without neck pain at baseline were selected for the analyses. Cox regression analysis was applied to examine the relation between the work-related psychosocial factors and the cumulative incidence of neck pain. Adjustments were made for various physical factors and individual characteristics. RESULTS: The analysis included 977 patients. Altogether, 141 workers (14.4%) reported that they had experienced neck pain at least once during the 3-year follow-up period. The relation of neck pain to high quantitative job demands (relative risk [RR], 2.14; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.28-3.58) and low coworker support (RR, 2.43; 95% CI, 1.11-5.29) was statistically significant. An increased risk was found for low decision authority in relation to neck pain (RR, 1.60; 95% CI, 0.74-3.45), but this relation was not statistically significant. CONCLUSIONS: High quantitative job demands and low coworker support are independent risk factors for neck pain. There are indications that another risk factor for neck pain is low decision authority. 相似文献

Neck pain is more prevalent in office workers than in the general community. To date, findings from prospective studies that
investigated causal relationships between putative risk factors and the onset of neck pain in this population have been limited
by high loss to follow-up. The aim of this research was to prospectively evaluate a range of risk factors for neck pain in
office workers, using validated and reliable objective measures as well as attain an estimate of 1-year incidence. We assembled
a cohort of 53 office workers without neck pain and measured individual, physical, workplace and psychological factors at
baseline. We followed participants for 1 year to measure the incidence of neck pain. We achieved 100% participant follow-up.
Cox regression analysis was applied to examine the relationship between the putative risk factors and the cumulative incidence
of neck pain. The 1-year incidence proportion of neck pain in Australian office workers was estimated in this study to be
0.49 (95% CI 0.36–0.62). Predictors of neck pain with moderate to large effect sizes were female gender (HR: 3.07; 95% CI:
1.18–7.99) and high psychological stress (HR: 1.64; 95% CI: 0.66–4.07). Protective factors included increased mobility of
the cervical spine (HR: 0.44; 95% CI: 0.19–1.05) and frequent exercise (HR: 0.64; 95% CI: 0.27–1.51). These results reveal
that neck pain is common in Australian office workers and that there are risk factors that are potentially modifiable. 相似文献

Background
Neck and upper limb symptoms are frequently reported by computer workers. Work style interventions are most commonly used to reduce work-related neck and upper limb symptoms but lifestyle physical activity interventions are becoming more popular to enhance workers health and reduce work-related symptoms. A combined approach targeting work style and lifestyle physical activity seems promising, but little is known on the effectiveness of such combined interventions. 相似文献7.

Background
Low back pain (LBP) and neck pain (NP) are a major public health problem with considerable costs for individuals, companies and society. Therefore, prevention is imperative. The Stay@Work study investigates the (cost-)effectiveness of Participatory Ergonomics (PE) to prevent LBP and NP among workers. 相似文献8.

Work related neck disorders are common problems in office workers, especially among those who are intensive computer users.
It is generally agreed that the etiology of work related neck disorders is multidimensional which is associated with, and
influenced by, a complex array of individual, physical and psychosocial factors. The aim of the current study was to estimate
the one-year prevalence of neck pain among office workers and to determine which physical, psychological and individual factors
are associated with these prevalences. Five hundred and twelve office workers were studied. Information was collected by an
online questionnaire. Self-reported neck pain during the preceding 12 months was regarded as a dependent variable, whereas
different individual, work-related physical and psychosocial factors were studied as independent variables. The 12 month prevalences
of neck pain in office workers was 45.5%. Multivariate analysis revealed that women had an almost two-fold risk compared with
men (OR = 1.95, 95% CI 1.22–3.13). The odds ratio for age indicates that persons older than 30 years have 2.61 times more
chance of having neck pain than younger individuals (OR = 2.61, 95% CI 1.32–3.47). Being physically active decreases the likelihood
of having neck pain (OR = 1.85, 95% CI 1.14–2.99). Significant associations were found between neck pain and often holding
the neck in a forward bent posture for a prolonged time (OR = 2.01, 95% CI 1.20–3.38), often sitting for a prolonged time
(OR = 2.06, 95% CI 1.17–3.62) and often making the same movements per minute (OR = 1.63, 95% CI 1.02–2.60). Mental tiredness
at the end of the workday (OR = 2.05, 95% CI 1.29–3.26) and shortage of personnel (OR = 1.71, 95% CI 1.06–2.76) are significantly
associated with neck pain. The results of this study indicate that physical and psychosocial work factors, as well as individual
variables, are associated with the frequency of neck pain. These association patterns suggest also opportunities for intervention
strategies in order to stimulate an ergonomic work place setting and increase a positive psychosocial work environment. 相似文献

Background
Disability associated with work-related musculoskeletal disorders is an increasingly serious societal problem. Although most injured workers return quickly to work, a substantial number do not. The costs of chronic disability to the injured worker, his or her family, employers, and society are enormous. A means of accurate early identification of injured workers at risk for chronic disability could enable these individuals to be targeted for early intervention to promote return to work and normal functioning. The purpose of this study is to develop statistical models that accurately predict chronic work disability from data obtained from administrative databases and worker interviews soon after a work injury. Based on these models, we will develop a brief instrument that could be administered in medical or workers' compensation settings to screen injured workers for chronic disability risk. 相似文献10.

Background
Neck and shoulder complaints are common among employees in sedentary occupations characterized by intensive computer use. Specific strength training is a promising type of physical exercise for relieving neck and shoulder pain in office workers. However, the optimal combination of frequency and exercise duration, as well as the importance of exercise supervision, is unknown. The VIMS study investigates in a cluster randomized controlled design the effectiveness of different time wise combinations of specific strength training with identical accumulated volume, and the relevance of training supervision for safe and effective training. 相似文献11.

Background
Arm, shoulder and neck symptoms are very prevalent among computer workers. In an attempt to reduce these symptoms, a large occupational health service in the Netherlands developed a preventive programme on exposure to risk factors, prevalence of arm, shoulder and neck symptoms, and sick leave in computer workers. The purpose of this study was to assess the effectiveness of this intervention programme. 相似文献12.

Background
Neck pain is a significant health problem in modern society. There is evidence to suggest that neck muscle strength is reduced in patients with neck pain. This article provides a critical analysis of the research literature on the clinimetric properties of tests to measure neck muscle strength or endurance in patients with non-specific neck pain, which can be used in daily practice. 相似文献13.

Background
Musculoskeletal pain symptoms are common in children and adolescents. These symptoms have a negative impact on children's physical and emotional well-being, but their underlying aetiology and risk factors are still poorly understood. Most of the previous cohort studies were conducted among mid and/or late adolescents and were mainly focused on a specific pain location (e.g. low back pain or neck pain). The purpose of this study is to estimate occurrence of new-onset pain symptoms, in all musculoskeletal locations, in preteens and early adolescents and investigate risk factors for development of these symptoms. 相似文献14.

Background
The costs of arm, shoulder and neck symptoms are high. In order to decrease these costs employers implement interventions aimed at reducing these symptoms. One frequently used intervention is the RSI QuickScan intervention programme. It establishes a risk profile of the target population and subsequently advises interventions following a decision tree based on that risk profile. The purpose of this study was to perform an economic evaluation, from both the societal and companies' perspective, of the RSI QuickScan intervention programme for computer workers. In this study, effectiveness was defined at three levels: exposure to risk factors, prevalence of arm, shoulder and neck symptoms, and days of sick leave. 相似文献15.
Background
In the literature there are discussions on the choice of outcome and the need for more longitudinal studies of musculoskeletal disorders. The general aim of this longitudinal study was to analyze musculoskeletal neck pain, in a group of young adults. Specific aims were to determine whether psychosocial factors, computer use, high work/study demands, and lifestyle are long-term or short-term factors for musculoskeletal neck pain, and whether these factors are important for developing or ongoing musculoskeletal neck pain. 相似文献16.

Background
Thoracic spine pain (TSP) is experienced across the lifespan by healthy individuals and is a common presentation in primary healthcare clinical practice. However, the epidemiological characteristics of TSP are not well documented compared to neck and low back pain. A rigorous evaluation of the prevalence, incidence, correlates and risk factors needs to be undertaken in order for epidemiologic data to be meaningfully used to develop evidence-based prevention and treatment recommendations for TSP. 相似文献17.

Background
Although psychosocial factors are known to be highly linked with neck pain, current therapies focus on somatically based interventions such as medicinal or manipulatory therapies. This study examines how socio-demographic, psychosocial and medical history and health-promoting lifestyle factors interact with neck pain in general practice patients. 相似文献18.

Background
Shoulder pain is common in primary care, and has an unfavourable outcome in many patients. Information about predictors of shoulder pain related sick leave in workers is scarce and inconsistent. The objective was to develop a clinical prediction rule for calculating the risk of shoulder pain related sick leave for individual workers, during the 6 months following first consultation in general practice. 相似文献20.
