The Efficacy of Healthy Stand on Back Pain in Office Syndrome

Abstract

A healthy stand is local wisdom's innovation to stretch the working tension on muscles and tendons. The carpenter made it by local material as a vertical wood plate with an angle of 50 degrees to release the pressure on the body's dorsal muscle. The researchers studied the effect of the healthy stand on back pain, one of the common symptoms in office syndrome comparing to the individual. This study was the Quasi-Experimental design on a one-group pretest-posttest design. The population was the staff working in Samut Songkram Education Center, Suan Sunandha Rajabhat University, to support a team. The sample was sampling by purposive sampling from the staff with back pain and evaluated at least mild pain by Visual Analog Scales (VAS). We conducted 30 staff by using a questionnaire of pain and sampling methods. The test was performed on the healthy stand with two positions; each trial was 2 minutes, once a day, for five days. The pain was recorded before and post-test. We used a computing program analyzed data. The result proved the healthy stand significantly reduced back pain in office syndromes with a confidence of 0.05. The individual information has no impact on the effect of back pain reduction.
