ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
The aim of this study was to assess effects of exercise on shoulder musculoskeletal symptoms among employees with overhead assembly work exposures.METHODS:
A voluntary workplace shoulder exercise program was offered to employees in two automotive assembly departments, while two similar departments served as controls. Nâ=â76 total workers participated. Shoulder Rating Questionnaire (SRQ) and Discomfort of the Arm Shoulder and Hand (DASH) symptoms were queried monthly for 7 baseline months, followed by 6 months that included exercise.RESULTS:
SRQ scores were higher for exercisers than among controls in the 6 exercising months, but not in the baseline months. Although the groupâxâmonth interaction was significant (Pâ<â0.05), the temporal trend was inconsistent.CONCLUSIONS:
Exercise may have temporarily lessened decline in SRQ. It is not clear whether shorter term differences were clinically meaningful or predictive of longer term disability prevention.
