Is a Modified Package of Exercise Training Useful on Low Back Pain in Nursing?

摘要

Nursing is one of the professions with the highest prevalence of Low Back Pain (LBP). The prevalence of LBP in nursing is about 70% and in a year and 35 to 80% in their lifetime (1). Nurses require much physical activity, such as turning, bending, standing, handling patients during their works and these conditions make them prone to LBP (2, 3). It is essential to design a practical and feasible program for reducing the prevalence of LBP in nurses.
