Abstract: Low Back Pain (LBP) is the most frequent musculosceletal issue found in daily work. Extenuating physical positions comprise 80-85% of the caues of  LBP. In the medical world, a lot of causes of LBP do not identify the pathoanatomical disorders. These factors are e.g.: body in static position while working and the working body position leaning heavily on the vertebra (for example: sitting in a hunched position, sitting upright without back support, or working for unsually long periods of time). Until now in Manado no study has been carried out to show the correlation between LBP and the sitting position, or the duration of work. This study aimed to find out the correlation between chronic LBP and the sitting position or the duration of work among bank employees in one of the goverment banks in Manado. The results showed that there were 69 respondents involved in this study. Chronic LBP was found in 62 respondents (90%). Up stright position while sitting was the most frequent position that caused chronic LBP in 28 respondents. The average time used for working with sitting position was 7-8 hours which caused chronic LBP among 31 respondents of the group with the work time from 11.00-13.59. A P-value of 0.000 (<0.05) showed that there was a strong correlation between sitting position and chronic LBP. Duration of work also showed a strong correlation with chronic LBP with a P-value of 0.000. Conclusion: There were strong correlations beween chronic low back pain with sitting position while working and duration of work. Keywords: chronic LBP chronic, sitting position, duration of work, bank employees.   Abstrak:Nyeri Punggung Bawah (NPB) merupakan gangguan muskuloskeletal yang paling sering dijumpai dalam aktivitas kerja. Faktor mekanik mencakup 80-85% dari keseluruhan penyebaNPB. Patoanatomi sering tidak dapat memberikan ketepatan diagnosis NPB oleh proses mekanik. Faktor mekanik yang mempercepat terjadinya gangguan NPB antara lain posisi badan yang cenderung statis, posisi badan yang cenderung memperberat kerja tulang-tulang vertebra seperti posisi badan membungkuk, tegak tanpa sandaran, dan waktu bekerja yang lama saat duduk. Hubungan NPB dengan posisi dan lama duduk belum pernah dilaporkan di Kota Manado. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui hubungan posisi dan lama duduk saat bekerja yang dapat menimbulkan NPB mekanik kronik pada karyawan bank. Hasil penelitian memperlihatkan dari keseluruhan responden yang berjumlah 69 orang, didapatkan 62 responden (90%) yang mengalami NPB mekanik kronik. Posisi duduk tegak tanpa sandaran merupakan posisi terbanyak menimbulkan NPB mekanik kronik pada 28 responden. Rata-rata lama duduk bekerja 7-8 jam menyebabkan NPB pada kelompok pukul 11.00-13.59 sebanyak 31 responden. Analisis statistik menggunakan uji chi-square memperlihatkan adanya korelasi yang kuat (P = 0,000) antara posisi duduk dan NBP mekanik kronik Lama duduk juga berkorelasi kuat dengan NBP mekanik kronik (P = 0,000). Simpulan: Terdapat hubungan yang kuat antara NBP mekanik kronik dengan posisi dan lama duduk pada karyawan bank. Kata kunci: NPB mekanik kronik, posisi duduk, lama duduk, karyawan bank.

AbstractIntroduction. The aim of this study was to examine women participating in fitness activities regarding their level of disability in daily activities and lumbar lordosis.Material and methods. Data were collected from 68 females between the ages of 25-70 participating in fitness exercises. The Oswestry Disability Index was applied to measure the level of disability due to the low back pain in everyday life. The angle of lumbar lordosis was measured using a Saunders’ digital inclinometer.Results. The results of the study confirmed the existence of problems related to low back pain in people performing sedentary work. There were no correlations between lumbar lordosis angle and the level of disability in daily activities of the groups. The low back pain increases especially among people performing sedentary work.Conclusions. The results of this study suggest that work in a sitting position is not associated with a decrease in the angle of lordosis in relation to another work than in a sitting position. Sitting work can be an indirect cause of back pain and slight disability in everyday life by weakening postural muscles.

Low back pain (LBP) is one of the most common health complaints in the community. About 80 percent of adults have experienced this condition. This research is a quantitative research with a cross sectional approach. The study was conducted at the Ulos Sianipar Gallery onAugust 2021. The population in this study were all weavers who worked at the Ulos Sianipar Gallery Medan as many as 54 people by using the slovin formula obtained sample of 48 people. Data was collected through a questionnaire, specifically for work attitudes with the Rapid Entire Body Assessment (REBA) method, carried out with the help of cameras, bows and worksheets. The results showed that individual factors: age (p=0.003), body mass index (p=0.044) and length of work (p=0.022); work environment factors: work duration (p=0.020) and rest time (p=0.018); and work factors: workload (p=0.001) and work attitude (p=0.001) have a relationship with LBP on weavers at Galeri Ulos Sianipar Medan. It is recommended for business owners to adjust the position of the thread on the weaving machine to the sitting position of the worker so that it does not require the worker to raise his hand higher, the weaver is advised to reduce or avoid awkward postures such as bending over which can cause muscle fatigue due to frequent or repetitive weaving.

Background: Lower back pain still occurs in many cyclists. The sitting position is considered to be one of the factors causing complaints of low back pain. This study was conducted to determine the correlation between sitting position and complaints of low back pain in cyclists. Methods: This study employed the narrative review method by collecting ten research articles from the Google Scholar and PubMed databases, identifying keywords using the PEOs format, so that the keywords "Cyclist", "Sitting Position", "Lower Back Pain", and "All Study Design" were used. Results: All articles used were articles published starting in 2010. Seven articles stated that lower back pain occurred more frequently in a sitting position with large lumbar flexion. Six articles stated that the sitting position of a cyclist was affected by the position of the handlebars. Five articles stated that sitting with the lower handlebars resulted in greater lumbar flexion and anterior pelvic tilt. Five articles stated that prolonged lumbar flexion and anterior pelvic tilt resulted in a lower crossed syndrome. Four articles found that lower crossed syndrome contributes to lower back pain. Conclusion: There is a correlation between sitting position and complaints of low back pain in cyclists. However, there are limitations to the article which states that the statistical closeness of the correlation between sitting position and complaints of low back pain in cyclists.

Low back pain can be caused by a variety of musculosceletal diseases, psychological disorders and mobilization. Patients who performed MRI examinations were mostly caused by indications of Low Back Pain (LBP). LBP became an important problem in the United States, in Indonesia an estimated 40% of the population of Central Java aged over 65 years have suffered from low back pain, the prevalence in men is 18.2% and in women is 13.6%.  In recent years, Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has been used widely, including for diagnosis of LBP. This study aims to identify factors that affect the suffered of low back pain in patients undergoing an MRI examination which consists of personal factors covering : age, habits, smoking  exercise habits, height, obesity, and work factors (tenure, work duration). The research categorize as a quantitative research with cross-sectional design. This study used a sample of all cases of MRI examination with complaints of low back pain as many as 60 patients. Statistical tests using chi square and non-parametric Mann Whitney tests. From the results of the study found that those who suffer  of LBP are mostly from personal factors covering :  men, have jobs that have more burden (weight), more at the age of ≥ 35 years, no smoking, no exercise, height ≥ 163 cm, overweight / obesity, with tenure of ≥ 10 years, with a work duration ≥ 8 hours a day, and type of LBP suffered in the chronic categorized. The factors that caused LBP in this study were personal factors in the most dominant sequence is caused by age, smoking habits, exercise habits, height, BMI, tenure and work duration and type of LBP chronik.

Background:Low back pain (LBP) is a common health problem among all age groups. Medical students do not seem to be spared. In fact LBP is one of the most common musculoskeletal disorder and its prevalence is variable ranging from 41% to 72%.Objectives:The aim of our study was to determine the prevalence of LBP among Tunisian medical students and to assess its associated factors.Methods:We conducted a cross-sectional study over 2 months carried out on medical students in a Tunisian medical college. A digital questionnaire entered by Google forms was sent by e-mail and was completed by the students. Our study included students from the first year of the first cycle of medical studies up to the third year of the second cycle. Socio-demographic, personal characteristics and life habits were collected. LBP was assessed using the Nordic musculoskeletal health questionnaire. The impact of low back pain was assessed using the Oswestry disability index (ODI).Results:One hundred and seventy-nine students were included. The mean age was 22.9 ± 2.3 years [19.64-38.21]. The sex ratio was 0.29. The average body mass index was 23.55 ± 4.22 kg / m2 [17.67-43.07]. 82% of the students were in the second cycle of medical studies. 26.4% of the students had a regular sports activity. 91.2% spent more than 4 hours a day in a sitting position. The point, annual, and lifetime prevalence of LBP among medical students was 41.2%, 80.4% and 90.6%, respectively. Low back pain was acute in more than 58.8%, subacute in 14.9% and chronic in 26.3%. The mean ODI score was 10.32% ± 8.48% [0-32%]. Students with LBP were significantly younger than students without LBP (p = 0.015). LBP was more common in students who spent more than 4 hours in a sitting position with a difference at the limit of significance (p = 0.059). Being in the 2nd cycle was significantly associated with the occurrence of LBP (p = 0.006). Poor screen projection in the amphitheater was significantly associated with the occurrence of LBP (p = 0.029).We found a statistically very significant relationship between the occurrence of LBP and the poor layout of the amphitheaters (p = 0.000). The feeling of depression was significantly higher among LBP students (p = 0.018). Feelings of fatigue, being overwhelmed, irritability and worry were more frequently found in LBP students, but this difference was not statistically significant. In a multivariate analysis, the only factors that remained statistically significant were feeling of depression (p = 0.046, OR = 3.88; CI = [1,3-11,55]) and the poor layout of the amphitheaters (p = 0.006, OR = 8.99; CI = [2.55-31.69]).Conclusion:The annual prevalence of LBP was 80.4%. These results testify to the magnitude of this health problem. The factors associated to LBP seemed to be essentially modifiable factors. This encourages special attention from medical schools to increase students’ awareness of low back pain and to provide appropriate measures at reduce this musculoskeletal disorder.Disclosure of Interests:None declared
