“…Seven studies were classified as high quality [15][16][17]20,[22][23][24], and four as low quality [18,19,21,25]. Randomization was performed in eight studies [15][16][17][18][20][21][22][23], seven specified the similarity between groups at baseline evaluation [16][17][18][19][20]22,23], and nine the inclusion and exclusion criteria [15][16][17][20][21][22][23][24][25]. Six studies applied a blinding procedure [15][16][17]20,22,23], and two performed an "intention-to-treat" analysis [15,23].…”

“…Qigong induced a significant improvement after 5 weeks (−58.7%) [15], while no significant modifications were found after home-based exercise [24]. Shariat and colleagues [18] found a 40% reduction in LBP after 11 weeks of web-based exercise, evaluating participants with the Cornell Musculoskeletal Disorders Questionnaire. In another study, the authors found a reduction of 89.1% after 6 months of exercise [16].…”

This systematic review aimed to analyze the effects of a physical exercise (PE) program on low back pain (LBP) symptoms of office workers and the modification of flexibility and range of motion (ROM), muscular strength, and quality of life (QoL). A literature research was performed on PubMed, Scopus, MEDLINE, and SPORTDiscus from April to May 2018. The keyword “low back pain” was associated with “office worker” OR “VDT operators” OR “office employees” OR “workplace” AND “exercise”, OR “exercise therapy” OR “physical activity”. Inclusion criteria were a home- or work-based exercise protocol for office workers with LBP symptoms and pre- to post-intervention evaluation of LBP symptoms. Three researchers independently examined all abstracts. The modified Cochrane methodological quality criteria were used for quality assessment and 11 articles were included. Exercise protocols were performed from 6 weeks to 12 months, 1–5 day per week, lasting 10–60 min for each session. Physical Exercise in the workplace improved all the considered outcomes. The best improvement was recorded in supervised protocols and in video-supported protocols performed in the workplace. The effect may be generated with small duration sessions during the working day, with only 10–15 min of adapted exercise to be performed 3–5 days per week.

“…In 2016, there were two important researches in this area. At first, Shariat el al., showed the positive effect of 11 week-long office-based exercise training, with focus on low back pain among office workers in Malaysia (Shariat, Lam, Kargarfard, & Danaee, 2015), followed by Dalager et al, in a longitudinal study among 390 Danish office workers, who revealed that not all forms of exercise training can affect the score of pain in the low back (Dalager, Justesen, Murray, & Sjøgaard, 2016). Dalager et al, also introduced intelligent physical exercise training with high intensity for the treatment of low back pain among office workers.…”

Background: Office workers sit down to work for approximately 8 hours a day and, as a result, many of them do not have enough time for any form of physical exercise. This can lead to musculoskeletal discomforts, especially low back pain and recently, many researchers focused on home/office-based exercise training for prevention/treatment of low back pain among this population. Objective: This Meta analyses paper tried to discuss about the latest suggested exercises for the office workers based on the mechanisms and theories behind low back pain among office workers. Method: In this Meta analyses the author tried to collect relevant papers which were published previously on the subject. Google Scholar, Scopus, and PubMed were used as sources to find the articles. Only articles that were published using the same methodology, including office workers, musculoskeletal discomforts, low back pain, and exercise training keywords, were selected. Studies that failed to report sufficient sample statistics, or lacked a substantial review of past academic scholarship and/or clear methodologies, were excluded. Results: Limited evidence regarding the prevention of, and treatment methods for, musculoskeletal discomfort, especially those in the low back, among office workers, is available. The findings showed that training exercises had a significant effect (p<0.05) on low back pain discomfort scores and decreased pain levels in response to office-based exercise training. Conclusion: Office-based exercise training can affect pain/discomfort scores among office workers through positive effects on flexibility and strength of muscles. As such, it should be suggested to occupational therapists as a practical way for the treatment/prevention of low back pain among office workers.

“…The recovery tools represent an individual, coherent and effective method to address the psychological dimension of BP. The outcomes could connect to current approaches aiming at the integration of feasible physical activity programs into work settings [45]. Consequently, psychological and physical interventions could be combined to prevent BP.…”

The application of a feasible exercise training program in the office setting

Abstract: The exercise training program designed in this study not only can effectively reduce neck, shoulders, and lower back pains, but also can improve the ROM or flexibility of the office workers.
