“…Nyeri punggung bawah banyak ditemukan pada pekerja yang sebagian besar membungkuk ke depan atau ke samping karena postur tubuh yang tidak stabil dan beban kerja yang berlebihan. Gerakan fleksi berulang dari tulang belakang menyebabkan ketegangan yang berlebihan dan kerusakan pada intervertebral disk atau ligamen, yang dapat menyebabkan nyeri muskuloskeletal (Lee H, et al. 2021).…”

Ergonomics risk factors are the leading cause of musculoskeletal disorders experienced by workers. The results of a walkthrough survey that the authors conducted to see the processes carried out by rice farmers, starting from the nursery to the harvesting process, found that spraying had the highest ergonomic risk. The spraying activity involves lifting and carrying a reasonably heavy sprayer with a minimum capacity of 13 litres. The body must bend > 20⁰ to compensate for the burden on the back. This spraying activity is also accompanied by repetitive movements of the left arm when pumping the sprayer lever, an awkward position of the left arm raised >45⁰, and a static position of the right hand holding the nozzle stick to be directed to the field area. The results of this observation follow the author's findings when conducting health checks on farmer groups in Rorotan Village, Cilincing District, North Jakarta, who found that almost all farmers had musculoskeletal complaints, especially after spraying activities. This is the basis that it is necessary to intervene in this process to reduce musculoskeletal complaints experienced by farmers. The intervention was carried out by providing a modified electric sprayer with a polyurethane (PU) hose with a diameter of 6 mm and a length of 40 meters which aims to reduce lifting and carrying activities, repetitive movements, and awkward positions. To see the program's success, an assessment was carried out before and after the intervention, including the assessment of the body discomfort map, the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) for pain and comfort, and the REBA (Rapid Entire Body Assessment). The results of assessing farmers' subjective complaints using the body map discomfort questionnaire and the previous VAS decreased from 6.83 to 2.93, while the VAS value for comfort increased from 2.8 to 7.4. An objective assessment using REBA also found a decrease in the score from 10 to 3. To complement the program, education is also carried out to stretch every 2 hours of work and education on using proper and appropriate tools.

“…Musculoskeletal injuries are very common in individuals who farm the land [ 44 ], although addressing this type of injury in gardening is still very limited in the literature [ 48 ]. Some authors indicated that the causes for their manifestation are related to the presence of inadequate work practices (repetitive and performed for a prolonged period), biomechanical factors (improper handling of gardening tools, lifting and carrying heavy loads, repetitive flexion movements of the spine, and excessive movement of the lumbar region or neck), use of poorly ergonomic tools, fatigue, and poor physical fitness [ 173 , 174 , 175 ]. Low-back pain is very common and is aggravated by age, crop type, stress levels, and the presence of previous occupational injuries [ 175 ].…”

The manual and repetitive activities associated with gardening, such as planting, spraying, sweeping, and using shears, can also lead to wrist and hand injuries.…”

Home gardening has a long history that started when humans became sedentary, being traditionally considered an accessible source of food and medicinal plants to treat common illnesses. With trends towards urbanization and industrialization, particularly in the post-World War II period, the importance of home gardens as important spaces for growing food and medicinal plants reduced and they began to be increasingly seen as decorative and leisure spaces. However, the growing awareness of the negative impacts of agricultural intensification and urbanization for human health, food quality, ecosystem resilience, and biodiversity conservation motivated the emergence of new approaches concerning home gardens. Societies began to question the potential of nearby green infrastructures to human wellbeing, food provisioning, and the conservation of traditional varieties, as well as providers of important services, such as ecological corridors for wild species and carbon sinks. In this context. and to foster adaptive and resilient social–ecological systems, our supported viewpoint intends to be more than an exhaustive set of perceptions, but a reflection of ideas about the important contribution of home gardens to sustainable development. We envision these humble spaces strengthening social and ecological components, by providing a set of diversified and intermingled goods and services for an increasingly urban population.

“…Clinical symptoms of disc prolapse patients vary widely [4] . Daily living activities like repetitive twisting, bending, or heavy lifting triggers pain in the lower back region which may radiate to the buttock and posterior thigh below the knee level and along the dermatome [8] . Disc prolapse at multiple sites increases the chances of clinical symptoms that may cause functional limitations.…”

BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVE: The most common cause of low back pain is disc prolapse. Disc prolapse occurs in both gender, but females are more prone to disc degenerative changes. The aim of this study was to determine the correlation between clinical findings and MRI findings of lumbar disc prolapse patients. METHODOLOGY: This study recruited 32 participants of either gender, between the ages of 19 to 65, in the Radiology department of Shalamar Hospital. This study was carried out in six months with follow-up. Only diagnosed patients with lumbar disc prolapse on MRI were recruited. NPRS was used to identify the intensity of pain. History and neurological examinations were done in all diagnosed patients. MRI reports of all these patients were reviewed. All these findings of MRI were correlated with the clinical findings at different levels of lumbar vertebrae. RESULTS: There was a statistically significant positive correlation of MRI findings with clinical findings in the presence of nerve root compression at the L1-L2 level of lumbar vertebrae. All abnormal findings on MRI did not correlate with clinical findings because some patients did not produce symptoms. According to the Pearson coefficient correlation, there was a positive but insignificant (p-value≥0.05) correlation between clinical features (sensations, power and reflexes) and MRI findings at all the levels of lumbar vertebrae except L2 dermatome and myotome. CONCLUSION: There was a not good correlation between MRI findings and clinical findings of patients with lumbar disc prolapse except L2.
