“…This was especially evident in the case of BMI. Our finding are aligned with the results of our previous study [18] and Youdas et al [20] studies, that reported higher risk of LBP in women and men with a higher BMI.…”

“…Therefore, our findings are aligned with the results of Evcik and Yucel [16] that showed females had greater lumbosacral angle. In a previous study, we reported that 60% of dentists had moderate LBPDI [18], similar to the data by Ilyas and Dharmaji [19] who reported 74.4% and 25.6% of mild to moderate LBPDI among the subjects. While here we observed only 32% of disabling pain, however, it should be noted that although in subjects with moderate LBPDI, personal care and sleep are not affected greatly, they work experience more pain while sitting, standing and lifting, and thus traveling and social life become difficult for them which could possibly lead to missing work.…”

“…The high prevalence of LBP among dentists related to the posture and movements in their daily work have been reported in the previous studies [2,18,21]. In a sitting position, lumbar lordotic curvature drops and prevents LBP.…”

Background -Non-specific low back pain (LBP) has direct impact on life quality, active days at work and health care costs. The aim of this study was to examine the correlation between lumbar lordosis (LL), LBP intensity and low back pain disability index (LBPDI). Material and Methods -This cross-sectional study was conducted among 52 dentists (56% male and 44% female). Dentists' low back pain intensity and low back disability index were examined with the self-administered visual analog scale and modified Oswestry questionnaire, respectively. LL was calculated using flexible ruler based on Youda's method. Results -The mean LBP and LBPDI were equal to 61.0±23.7 and 31.4±11.8, respectively. In addition, a significant relationship between LBP, sex and BMI as well as between LBPDI, work experience and BMI were found (P=0.001). There was a strong significant positive correlation between LBP and LBPDI (P=0.001, r=0.937). Additionally, the results showed no significant correlation between LBP, LBPDI and LL (P>0.05). Conclusion -The results suggest that despite the lack of correlation between LBP intensity and LBPDI with LL, male sex, work experience and BMI are the important risk factors associated with LBP and LBPDI in dentists and thus should be taken into consideration for preventative and intervention strategies.

“…Easy management, sensitivity, and ability to respond to statistical analysis can be noted as benefits of VAS (25). Saremi determined validity and reliability of the mentioned questionnaire among Shahed university dentists (26), and it has been used in Nadri et al studies (27,28). A modified version of the ODI questionnaire has a high reliability and validity for the severity of the disability caused by LBP.…”

Article Info Background: The revised National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) lifting equation (RNLE) is commonly used for risk assessment of manual handling, and can estimate low back pain (LBP) biomechanical stressors of lifting and/or lowering of loads. The aim of this study was to evaluate manual material handling by using the RNLE, LBP, and LBP disability index (LBPDI) among workers in a tile and ceramic industrial unit in Tehran, Iran. Materials and Methods: A sample of 30 workers (manual workers) in a tile and ceramic production line was recruited. Low back pain prevalence and disability index were measured using body map questionnaire combined with visual analog scale and self-report Oswestry disability index (ODI), respectively. Statistical data analysis was done using SPSS software, version 22. Results: According to results, composite lifting index was 14.77. Low back pain prevalence among workers was reported equal to 100%; also, Low back pain intensity was equal to 68.8 ± 17.8. The mean of Low back pain disability index among workers has been reported equal to 41.3 ± 17.1 (severe crippled). Conclusions: The results show that composite lifting index value for these jobs exceeded 3, which means that there is a significant level of physical stress associated with these jobs for nearly all workers. Both strength and endurance for this job are high; therefore, job redesigning could decrease the physical demands, Low back pain prevalence, and Disability index, through modifying the job layout and work stations.

“…If pain, numbness, tingling or weakness persists beyond six to eight weeks, surgery may be indicated (Gilbert 2019). It is very important that cervical disc patients take precautions regarding passive manipulation of the cervical spine because such forceful movement on the cervical spine can increase arm pain, numbness, weakness, with potentially catastrophic results (Gilbert 2019;Nadri & Ramandi 2016;Yan etal., 2016).…”

Background: cervical disc disorder is associated with many problems and functional disabilities which affect quality of life for patients. Neck pain is as common as low back pain which are considered from associated problems with cervical disc. Aim: This study was conducted to assess problems and functional disabilities among patients with cervical disc and relationship with low back pain. Design and Setting: A descriptive exploratory correlational study design was used and data were collected from Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Department and it's affiliated out patient clinic of Tanta Main University Hospital. Sample: Purposive sampling of (90) patients from previous mentioned setting during follow-up period. Tools: Three tools were used for data collection: Tool (I); Sociodemographic and Medical data of the patients, Tool (II); Neck Disability Index scale to examine the degree of disability resulted from cervical disc and its effect on daily activities. Tool (III); Roland-Morris Low Back Pain and Disability Questionnaire to assess pain-related disability resulting from low back pain. Results: As a result of this study, the majority (66.7%) of the patients had complete level of neck disability and (82.2%) of them had high level of disability due to low back pain. Moreover the majority of the patients (67.6%) had high level of disability due to low back pain associated with complete neck disability due to cervical disc. Significant positive correlation was noted between total score of neck disability index and total score of rolandmorrislow back pain and disability.Conclusion and Recommendation: These results indicate that majority of the patients had complete level of neck disability and high level of disability due to low back pain. Significant positive correlation was noted between total score of neck disability index and total score of roland-morrislow back pain and disability. Further research must be done in many settings to evaluate whether disability prevention or interventions can improve functional disabilities.
