“…Jak pokazują wyniki analizy, czas trwania interwencji wynosił od 8 tygodni do nawet 3 lat. W przypadku 14 interwencji czas trwania był dłuższy niż 6 miesięcy [17][18][19][22][23][24][25]29,30,39,40,42,45,46]. Krótkotrwałe interwencje (poniżej 6 miesięcy) przeprowadziło natomiast 16 badaczy [15,16,20,21,[26][27][28]31,32,[34][35][36][37][38]41,44].…”

“…W zdecydowanej większości w celu zbadania występowania i intensywności MSD zastosowano kwestionariusz dolegliwości mięśniowo-szkieletowych Nordic Musculoskeletal Questionnaire [52]. Analiza wyników 11 badań wskazuje, że uczestniczenie w programie interwencyjnym promującym aktywność fizyczną wpływało na zmniejszenie dolegliwości bólowych układu mięśniowo-szkieletowego [23,24,27,28,31,37,38,[42][43][44][45].

StreszczenieAktywność fizyczna jest ważnym czynnikiem mającym znaczenie w poprawie i utrzymaniu dobrego stanu zdrowia. Mimo że jest to zagadnienie istotne nie tylko dla środowiska pracy, to właśnie to środowisko stanowi dobre warunki do prowadzenia i utrwalania zachowań prozdrowotnych, w tym również programów promujących aktywność fizyczną. W artykule przedstawiono analizę piśmiennictwa dotyczącego skuteczności prowadzenia tego typu działań w miejscu pracy. Szczególną uwagę zwrócono na wpływ programów promujących aktywność fizyczną na dolegliwości mięśniowo-szkieletowe, absencję chorobową, zdolność do pracy, wydolność fizyczną oraz masę ciała uczestników. Mając na uwadze to, że w Polsce tego typu programy nadal są prowadzone na niewielką skalę, starano się pokazać korzyści wynikające z realizowania tego typu inicjatyw oraz uczestnictwa w nich. Med. Pr. 2017;68(2):277-301Słowa kluczowe: aktywność fizyczna, program interwencyjny, interwencja w miejscu pracy, dolegliwości mięśniowo-szkieletowe, program corporate wellness, zdolność do pracy AbstractA physical activity is a key factor contributing to the improvement and maintenance of one's general health. Although this issue is by no means limited to the workplace, it is precisely the work environment that can provide the basis for keeping and reinforcing more health-conscious attitudes and lifestyles, including programs promoting a physical activity. The paper presents an analysis of the literature on the effectiveness of physical activity intervention at the workplace. Particular attention is paid to the impact of the physical activity programs on musculoskeletal disorders, absenteeism, work ability, physical capacity and body weight of the participants. Given a marginal extent of programs of this kind in Poland, the authors' intention was to show the benefits resulting from implementation of and participation in such initiatives.

“…Furthermore, several intervention programs focused specifically on the shoulders and neck, in order to prevent MSS in those body areas. Among these is the exercise program for reduction of work-related MSS in the upper limb, established by Rasotto et al [34], [35]. The latest research found that a tailored physical activity program was significantly effective in reducing shoulder and neck pain symptoms.…”

BackgroundThis study aimed to investigate the relation between key strike forces and musculoskeletal symptoms (MSS). Moreover, this study presents a key strike force measurement method to be used in a workplace setting. The correlation between key strike force characteristics and MSS was previously studied, but the measurement methods used either a single-key switch or force platforms applied under the keyboard. Most of the studies were conducted in a laboratory setting. The uniqueness of measurement methods in the current study is their ability to measure forces applied to a specific key in a workplace setting and to provide more information about specific key strike forces during typing.MethodsTwenty-four healthy computer workers were recruited for the study. The demographic questionnaire, and self-reported questionnaires for psychosocial status (General Nordic Questionnaire for Psychological and Social Factors at Work) and for detecting MSS were filled up, which later helped in dividing the participants into two groups (12 participants with pain and 12 without pain). Participants typed a predetermined text that utilized the instrumented keys multiple times. The dynamic forces applied to the keys were recorded and collected, using four thin and flexible force sensors attached to the preselected keys according to their location.ResultsThe results demonstrated that participants with high levels of MSS, specifically in the back and neck, in the last year exerted significantly higher key strike forces than those with lower levels of symptoms (p < 0.005).ConclusionThe key strike force exerted while typing on a keyboard may be a risk factor for MSS, and should therefore be considered in ergonomic evaluations and interventional programs.

Objectives: To investigate whether behaviour change techniques (BCTs) can influence adherence to home exercise in people with upper extremity musculoskeletal disorders (UEMD). Design:A systematic review of randomised control trials, non-randomised control trials, case-control studies and cohort studies. Results were presented narratively.Participants were those with UEMD. The intervention was any home exercise programme, alongside a BCT designed to increase exercise adherence. Any duration of intervention was accepted. The main outcome sought was adherence to home exercise. A systematic search was performed on four online databases. Grey literature was searched. Results:The search resulted in 28,755 titles. 77 full-text articles were assessed for eligibility. Six studies were included in the qualitative synthesis. Four studies had Some Concern of Bias, whilst two studies had High Risk of Bias. Three studies found statistically significant differences in exercise adherence (p < 0.05) between the Intervention group and Control group. The BCT 'Social Support (unspecified)' was used within all studies that found significant differences in adherence levels at outcome. However, multiple BCTs were received by the Intervention groups within all studies, making it impossible to identify the effects of any single BCT upon adherence levels. Conclusion:Social support may be relevant in patients' adherence levels to HEPs. However, confidence in the results is uncertain given the small number of studies found, and their High RoB. Future studies should validate their measurement and definition of adherence, as well as the number of BCTs they use, to provide reproducible evidence.
