Multisite pain and reduce workability in college students

Abstract

Background: Multisite pain includes discomfort or strain in the neck, shoulder, low back, or other parts of the body. It is one of the most serious health issues affecting both adults and kids. This study focuses on determining the impact of multisite pain and reducing the workability of collegiate students. Method: A sample of 145 students was taken from Galgotia’s university in India. Using pen-paper mode, Standard Nordic Musculoskeletal Discomfort Form and workability index were the tools to assess the pain and workability among the students. Result: The final score of the Workability index (WAI) for Group A was 39.27±6.301 and for Group B was37.52±4.688. and P-value is 0.70. As the Group A score was greater than the Group B score, but the P-value was 0.70, we may conclude that there is no significant difference between the two groups, as Multisite pain had no influence on workability. For Multisite pain, we discovered that the pain percentages were as follows: NECK 79.8%, SHOULDERS 38.1 percent, ELBOW 4.8 percent, WRISTS/HANDS 6%, UPPER BACK 17.9 percent, LOWER BACK 40.5 percent, ONE OR BOTH HIPS/THIGHS 10.7 percent, ONE OR BOTH KNEES 15.5 percent, ONE OR BOTH ANKLE/FEET 17.9 percent.
