Abstract:
BACKGROUND: To assess the effectiveness of strengthening and stretching exercise to reduce work related musculoskeletal disorders among local market workers. In worldwide, injuries to the muscles are the reason for employees' discomfort, impairment, and declining job quality. Due to their extended workdays, hard lifting, and insufficient job rotation among the employees, load men are more susceptible to MSD. The use of passive stretch interventions is more common, which is thought to elongate shortened muscle. Some exercises like Pilates, stretching, aerobics and strengthening exercises were found to be used among elderly individuals with low back pain. OBJECTIVE: To find out the effectiveness of strengthening and stretching exercise to reduce work related musculoskeletal disorders among local market workers. MATERIAL&METHOD: 103 male local market workers volunteered for the study and 66 were screened based on inclusion criteria. Nordic musculoskeletal questionnaire was used. 40 patients were chosen based on discomfort in the cervical and lower back regions, and they were then separated into two groups of 20, each with 20 participants based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. They were explained the process and given their informed permission. Using NPRS, the pre- and post-test values were calculated. Isometric neck flexion, extension, lateral rotation, lateral flexion, and cervical retraction exercises were provided to the strengthening group and for low back pelvic bridging, planks were been given. Stretching Group were given stretching exercises, like knee to chest stretches, kneeling back stretch, cat cow, piriformis stretches for low back and for neck upper trapezius stretch, levator scapulae, deep anterior neck flexor stretches. The therapy was given five days a week for four weeks; the frequency of treatment is 20 minutes 15 repetitions. In the same way that the pre-test results were calculated, so were the post-test results. Statistics were applied to the values after tabulation. RESULT: It demonstrates how stretching exercises may significantly improve the neck and low back. CONCLUSION: For addressing neck and lower back pain concerns among local market workers, stretching is far more beneficial and effective than strengthening activities.
