体操導入による船員の頚肩背腰部の愁訴改善および脊椎棘突起・筋の圧痛改善について

摘要

Of the many diseases that can affect seamen, those related to disorders of the musculoskeletal system are among the most prevalent, making it desirable to take appropriate measures for prevention and treatment. We introduced a back muscle exercise program to seamen attending the National Institute for Sea Training and examined the effects of the program after the 2-month intervention. To evaluate the effectiveness of this exercise program, the rates of subjective symptoms and complaints of pressed pain in both muscle and Processus spinosus were compared before and after the program. The complaint rate in 22 vertebrae was lower than that of other workers studied previously. The frequency of pressed pain in seamen with 4 subjective symptom places was greater than that in seamen with fewer than 2 subjective symptom places. It was suggested that subjective symptoms were related to the pressed pain. After 2 months, data from 18 seamen were collected and evaluated. There was a statistically significant decrease not only in the complaint rate in the back and low back, but also in pressed pain in 18 vertebrae. Results suggest that the back muscle exercise program was effective in improving seamen's musculoskeletal health.%船員の頸肩背腰部の愁訴および脊椎鰊突起・筋の圧痛は、体操の導入とそれに付随する愁訴の原因についての説明や調査により改善がみられた。一般船舶の船員への適用も可能であると考えられ、課題を考慮しながら、実際の導入を検討していく必要がある。
