ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
This study assessed worksite exercise delivered by on-site supervision (supervised) or telehealth to reduce lost work time (LWT) related to low back pain (LBP) in firefighters.METHODS:
A cluster randomized controlled trial assigned 264 career firefighters to supervised (nâ=â86) or telehealth (nâ=â95) back and core exercises 2×/week for 12 months, or control (nâ=â83).RESULTS:
58.0% (153/264) of participants reported LBP and 7.6% (20/264) reported LWT related to LBP (control nâ=â10, supervised nâ=â5, telehealth nâ=â5). Participants in the control group experienced 1.15 times as many hours of LWT as the supervised group, and 5.51 times as many hours of LWT as the telehealth group.CONCLUSIONS:
Worksite exercise, delivered by on-site supervision or telehealth, can reduce LWT related to LBP in career firefighters.
