Abstract: | Objective: To investigate the effects of ambulant myofeedback training including ergonomic counselling (Mfb) and ergonomic counselling
alone (EC), on work-related neck-shoulder pain and disability. Methods: Seventy-nine female computer workers reporting neck-shoulder complaints were randomly assigned to Mfb or EC and received
four weeks of intervention. Pain intensity in neck, shoulders, and upper back, and pain disability, were measured at baseline,
immediately after intervention, and at three and six months follow-up. Results: Pain intensity and disability had significantly decreased immediately after four weeks Mfb or EC, and the effects remained
at follow up. No differences were observed between the Mfb and EC group for outcome and subjects in both intervention groups
showed comparable chances for improvement in pain intensity and disability. Conclusions: Pain intensity and disability significantly reduced after both interventions and this effect remained at follow-up. No differences
were observed between the two intervention groups. |
