ObjectivesThe following study analyses the influence of risk factors among the occupational group of truck drivers on postural control and body mass index (BMI).DesignObservational study.SettingOne motorway station close to several highways in Germany.Participants180 truck drivers (177 male/3 female), aged 21–65 years old, took part in this study.Outcome measuresPostural control was examined using a pressure plate. In order to examine the influence of body weight (BMI) and working years on postural control, subjects were divided into samples of five and three groups, respectively. Furthermore, it was evaluated whether the subjects suffered from back pain. For data analysis, the Kruskal-Wallis test was used as the data were not normally distributed. Once the p value of the Kruskal-Wallis test was p≤0.05, the Conover-Iman comparison and afterwards the Bonferroni-Holm correction were used. The significance level was set at α ≤0.05.ResultsRegarding the number of working years, a significant increase of frontal (p≤0.04) and sagittal (p≤0.001) sway were observed. The correlation of the five BMI groups with the number of working years demonstrates that an increase of the working years leads to an increase of BMI (p≤0.03). Furthermore, the majority of truck drivers participating in this study suffered from back pain (61.7%).ConclusionsBMI and musculoskeletal impairment are indicators of health risk factors. In this study, it is shown that an increasing number of working years and an increasing BMI lead to a decrease in frontal and sagittal postural sway. In addition, the number of working years correlates with body weight and back pain.

“…Limitation of negative habits related to irrational management will reduce the deformation of the environment, while at the same time it will secure general obedience to the rules in the working environment. (Brodzińska, 2012;Gawda et al, 2015;Kałuża, 2009;Pawlak & Nowakowicz-Dębek, 2015). Kostecka and Mroczek (2007) show that there is an increased interest in new ways of farming.…”

“…While trying to avoid poisoning and exposure to biological, physical and chemical agents, it is necessary to remember about appropriate preventive measures. The use of preventive measures requires thorough knowledge of the scope of their implementation (Brodzińska, 2012;Gawda et al, 2015;Nowakowicz-Dębek et al, 2016;Pawlak & Nowakowicz-Dębek, 2015;Pecyna, Pawlak, Maksym, Filipiuk, & Buczaj, 2016;Walusiak-Skorupy & Pałczyński, 2010).…”

Farming presupposes good acquaintance with the use of machinery, equipment, animal care and work schedules to safely perform duties on integrated farms. This is the reason why the farmers' knowledge of occupational health and safety, including the use and application of personal protective equipment, has become a subject of the research. A survey research was conducted among 90 farmers working on an integrated farm or being interested in such a system. Questions concerned harmful and hazardous factors in the work environment, the principles of safe working with animals, use of personal protection measures, knowledge and implementation of safety signs, pre-medical aid, and participation in training in innovative agriculture. The most active age group of respondents were farmers up to 50 years of age who were willing to participate in the study by providing exhaustive answers. Most of the farmers have a basic or secondary education and a large amount of their knowledge comes from their own experience. The greatest role in implementing the assumptions of the integrated management system plays the human factor together with its own state of awareness in the field discussed.

“…A more recent study also indicated that the myofascial release therapy is very effective in reducing the pain related disability and improving lumbar range of motion in subjects with mechanical low back pain [32,33]. Besides these interventions, few more studies demonstrated the impact of ergonomic training on low back pain in professionals belonging to different occupational settings [34,35,36].…”

Objective: This study aimed to find out the effectiveness of multiple therapeutic intervention combinations to manage Postural Low back pain among the Information Technology [IT] Professionals. Study design: The randomized control study design. Materials and Methods: All the subjects (N=90) were randomized into three groups which consists of one control and two experimental groups. The subjects in the Experimental group I were given Motor Control Training and Ergonomic Training whereas the Experimental group II were given Myofascial Release, Motor Control Training and Ergonomic Training was given for a period of 6 weeks that includes first 3 weeks of Myofascial Release along with Motor Control Training and Ergonomic Training, further the Motor Control Training and Ergonomic Training was continued for the period of 4 to 6 weeks duration. The subjects in the control group were not given any therapeutic modalities throughout the study. The effectiveness of the therapeutic interventions were measured through three outcome parameters such as Back pain intensity, Back pain disability and Transversus Abdominis muscle strength. The Analysis of Covariance and Scheffe's post hoc tests were applied to study the treatment effectiveness. The effectiveness of the therapeutic intervention at three different time intervals was also analyzed using repeated measures ANOVA and if found significant, a Newman Keul's post hoc tests was employed to study the significance between two time intervals. Results & Conclusion: The results of this study concluded that the Experimental group-II is found to be better than Experimental group-I and Control group in the reduction of Low Back pain intensity, Back pain disability and Transversus Abdominis muscle strength of the Software professionals with Postural low back pain.
