Brief Summary

Workers in the various branches of the investigators industrial society can be considered as a group susceptible to risks due to the nature of its activities related to the intense demands of their work units with varying degrees of physical overload. Among the risk factors involved in postural genesis of occupational low back pain is work in uncomfortable positions, such as maintenance of static postures for long periods of time and frequent implementation of flexion, extension and trunk rotation.The association between body instability (lack of postural balance) and back pain is seen with some frequency, especially in working groups.

Conditions

Low Back Pain

Keywords

Back pain; postural balance; RDM; industrial operators

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• In intra-group comparison, the paired t test or Wilcoxon showed, respectively, a significant improvement (p <0.05) in the variables back pain (p = 0.0001) and postural balance (p = 0.0001) in GE.

  three months

Secondary Outcomes (1)

• Kruskal Wallis test followed by the confidence interval (CI) showed significant improvements in favor of GE's post-test compared to post-test of the GC (back pain: CI: -115.58 / -48.66; postural balance: CI: -68.81 / -1.89).

  three months

Study Arms (2)

Back pain

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of rehabilitation of the dynamic ;(RDM) in balance and balance of industrial operators. The sample consisted of industrial operators, individuals with low back pain, referred to the industry of Physical Therapy

Balance

the treatment with RDM reflected in significant improvement in back pain and postural balance of industrial operators.

Eligibility Criteria
