Magnitude and Contributing Factors of Low Back Pain among Long Distance Truck Drivers at Modjo Dry Port Ethiopia: A Cross-Sectional Study

摘要

Background Low back pain (LBP) is well known as the most common musculoskeletal disorder with the lifetime prevalence of eighty percent. Worldwide, 37% of low back pain was attributable to occupational risk factors. Truck driving is one among the jobs causing occupational LBP. Even though these drivers in Ethiopia run the high risk of occupational injuries and illnesses like drivers elsewhere, the evidence that shows the magnitude and factors that contribute to LBP is a significant shortcoming.
