Academic advisor: lekt. Dr. I. E. Jamontaitė, Vilnius University, Faculty of Medicine, Department of Rehabilitation, Physical and Sports Medicine Keywords: ergonomics, training programs, neck pain. The aim of the research work is to evaluate the effect of ergonomics training programs in patients with neck pain. Tasks of work: 1. To evaluate physical activity for patients with neck pain. 2. To evaluate the functional status of individuals before and after rehabilitation with different ergonomics training programs. 3. To evaluate the quality of life before and after rehabilitation with different ergonomics training programs. Materials and Methods: The research was carried out at PE Abromiškių rehabilitative hospital throughout the months from 2016. November until 2017 April. The study involved 44 individuals that had neck pain, aged from 37 to 55. Research programs were randomly divided into two groups of 22 persons. Total both groups the average age of 46.22  5.72. Study groups used by different ergonomic training methods: Group I - ergonomics training word method; Group II - ergonomics training video material presentation method. Patient examination was carried out twice, the patient upon arrival at the outpatient rehabilitation and exit. Both groups were applied in occupational therapy sessions. Results: Even 59 percent. all respondents, cervical spine pain experienced by working in sedentary jobs, while being long barrel position. It was established as a research often feel pain, the most common survey Offers 1 - 2 times a day, this increases the probability of use of medicinal products for pain relief. The intensity of pain, improvement of patient functional status after rehabilitation. The application of different methodologies and ergonomic training using the traditional methods of occupational therapy significantly improves functional status, quality of life of the upper limb functional movements and an increase in isometric muscle strength (p <0.05). Conclusion: The assessment of physical activity, it is noted that 59 percent. (n = 26) of them engaged in moderate intensity physical activity. The assessment of pain on daily activities Quebec questionnaire in both groups compared to baseline cervical spine pain on patients' daily activities statistically decreased (p < 0.05). Based on the functional state of Oswestry questionnaire analysis, the majority of 73 percent. (n = 32) for patients before rehabilitation moderate disability level after rehabilitation disability statistically significantly different (p < 0.05). It can be argued that the application as well as oral teaching method, and the method of visual material, improves patients' functional status. The assessment of health-related fullness of life and general health condition of the EQ-5D questionnaire-3L, using the method of visual material quality of life indicators after rehabilitation statistically significant improvement (p < 0.05). |
