Office Ergonomics and Employee Health

The effect of long working hours spent at a desk on the musculoskeletal system, and how that effect may be reduced by arranging the work environment, sit at the centre of this area. Studies address both the physical layout of the workstation and the employee’s sitting, position-change and break-taking behaviour during the day. A randomised controlled study showed that online ergonomics training adapted to stages of behaviour change improved working posture and the level of ergonomic risk.

Spine and Musculoskeletal Health

This area examines the relationship between the function of the neck, back and low-back region and the pain and disability seen in these regions. Studies emphasise that assessment should not remain limited to the region where the complaint appears, and that neighbouring regions should also be assessed: for example, deep cervical flexor muscle strength and cervical muscle endurance have been shown to be reduced, compared with healthy controls, in individuals diagnosed with lateral epicondylitis. Similarly, in young people with intensive smartphone use, deep neck extensor muscle endurance has been considered together with pain, disability and sleep quality.

Physical Activity and Exercise Behaviour

This area is concerned less with the effect of exercise than with why people start exercise, why they continue it, or why they stop. Behaviour-science concepts such as stages of change in exercise behaviour, decisional balance and self-efficacy are addressed in a form that can be carried into physiotherapy practice. Cross-sectional studies have assessed young people’s stage of change in exercise behaviour and examined the relationship between personality traits and exercise tendency.
