Background/aim: In many countries low back pain is a long-term disability, where 90% of people suffer from it at some point of time. Low back pain has high prevalence rate and incidence of low back problems leads to disability, sickness further leads to sickness absenteeism, early retirement and lost working days. Computer work has generated a new genre of occupational health problems, i.e., of computer-related musculoskeletal disorder. Work related Musculoskeletal Disorders (WMSD) are damages caused to joint, muscle, tendon and ligament due to repeated strain given to the structure lead to musculoskeletal pain and discomfort and most common joint affected are neck, lower back, shoulder, elbow and wrist. Musculoskeletal discomfort can occur anywhere in the body and typically are not caused by a single traumatic event, but is due to micro trauma to tissues that does not heal during rest. Postural back pain is a major public and occupational health problem, especially in the information technology (IT) and BPO sectors. Various intervention strategy used to treat chronic back pain such as physical agents, exercise and back school program. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of Kinesio taping compared with rigid taping along with TENS and back exercise program on pain pressure threshold for subjects with work related low back pain in computer professionals. Methods and Materials: 112 subjects satisfied the inclusion criteria had been selected from among the eligible participants of 196 subjects works in medium and large-scale IT industry reported with lower back pain for more than three months. Subjects were divided randomly in to two group and intervened by kinesio taping or rigid taping with common protocol of TENS and back exercise program. Pain pressure threshold was measured before and after treatment, compared the mean difference by ANOVA to find out the effect of intervention Results: The data were analyzed by SPSS version 20.0 using descriptive statistics such as normality test, mean standard deviation and graphs and charts. Inferential statistics such as ANOVA. Both the groups improved in pain pressure threshold and kinesio taping group was better in improving pain pressure threshold with high statistical significance of P ≤ 0.05. Conclusion: kinesio taping compared with rigid taping along with TENS and core stability exercise found Kinesio tape is better than rigid tape in all parameters with the significance of p ≤ 0.05 except quadratus lumborum left and L2-L3 level were the significance was P=0.078 and P=0.152 respectively.

Acute Back Pain

Aims: to determine the prevalence of acute and chronic back pain and associated factors and identify the consequences of this pain in adults and the elderly in southern Brazil.Methods: cross-sectional study conducted in 2019, in Criciúma, Santa Catarina, in individuals aged 18 and over. Acute back pain was pain in the cervical, thoracic, or lumbar regions not exceeding 3 months and chronic pain as pain for 3 months or more. Bivariate analyzes and multinomial logistic regression were performed.Results: among the 820 participants, the prevalence of back pain was 67.0%, acute pain 39.3% (95% CI: 35.5% to 43.3%) and chronic pain 27.4% (95% CI: 24.5% to 30.4%). Acute back pain was associated with women, overweight, obesity, and with WMSD/RSI, while chronic pain chronic pain was found mostly in women, being related to leisure inactivity ...were female, leisure inactivity, falls, Work-related musculoskeletal disorder/repetitive strain injury, and arthritis/rheumatism.Conclusions: acute pain was greater among overweight/obese and chronic pain contribute to absenteeism and demand for health services.

Abstract Ratings for “non-specific chronic, or chronic reoccurring, back pain” are based on the diagnosis-based impairment method whereby an impairment class, usually representing a range of impairment values within a cell of a grid, is selected by diagnosis and “specific criteria” (key factors). Within the impairment class, the default impairment value then can be modified using non-key factors or “grade modifiers” such as functional history, physical examination, and clinical studies using the net adjustment formula. The diagnosis of “nonspecific chronic, or chronic reoccurring, back pain” can be rated in class 0 and 1; the former has a default value of 0%, and the latter has a default value of 2% before any modifications. The key concept here is that the physician believes that the patient is experiencing pain, yet there are no related objective findings, most notably radiculopathy as distinguished from “nonverifiable radicular complaints.” If the individual is found not to have radiculopathy and the medical record shows that the patient has never had clinically verifiable radiculopathy, then the diagnosis of “intervertebral disk herniation and/or AOMSI [alteration of motion segment integrity] cannot be used.” If the patient is asymptomatic at maximum medical improvement, then impairment Class 0 should be chosen, not Class 1; a final whole person impairment rating of 1% indicates incorrect use of the methodology.
