Associations of objectively measured forward bending at work with low-back pain intensity: a 2-year follow-up of construction and healthcare workers

This study aimed to determine possible associations between objectively measured forward bending at work (FBW) and low-back pain intensity (LBPi) among Norwegian construction and healthcare workers.One-hundred and twenty-five workers wore two accelerometers for 3-4 consecutive days, during work and leisure to establish duration of ≥30° and ≥60° forward bending. The participating workers reported LBPi (0-3) at the time of objective measurements...
