Abstract

|
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of task training with symmetrical circumferential contractions on the physical and mental well-being of hospital caregivers who suffer from chronic back pain. Sixty-five hospital caregivers with chronic back pain were involved with this study. Thirty-three subjects were in the experimental group and 32 subjects were in the control group. The experimental group was subjected to task training with symmetrical abdominal contractions while the control group was limited to a program of general stretching. The experimental group showed a significantly higher improvement on the trunk impairment scale, and in a depression and stress test than the control group. Based on the results of this study, we should provide a task training program with symmetrical abdominal contractions for hospital caregivers who complain of back pain.
