LYU Mingshun,ZHANG Zihong,CHEN Bin, et al. Effect of health care exercise on the incidence of musculoskeletal diseases in ultrasound physicians[J]. JOURNAL OF WEZHOU MEDICAL UNIVERSITY, 2020, 50(6): 497-499.
Abstract：Objective: To explore whether health care exercise can prevent the occurrence of musculoskeletal diseases in ultrasound physicians. Methods: Forty-two physicians who had just engaged in ultrasound work in September 2014 were selected as the subjects of the survey, excluding those with hypertension, hyperlipidemia, arrhythmia, sleep disorders, musculoskeletal diseases or other musculoskeletal diseases. Forty-two doctors were randomly numbered and divided into experimental group and control group. They were followed up for 5 years. Among them, 21 doctors in the experimental group insisted on strengthening exercises for different muscle groups more than three times a week, while 21 doctors in the control group did not. Relevant physical examination data were collected at the end of each year, and the incidence of musculoskeletal diseases in the two groups was compared by chi-square test. Results: The prevalence of musculoskeletal diseases was 9.5% in the experimental group and 71.4% in the control group (χ2=16.701, P<0.001), which had significant difference. Conclusion: Ultrasound doctors can effectively prevent the occurrence of musculoskeletal diseases by carrying out targeted muscle group exercises in their spare time.
