Wozu betriebliche Gesundheitsförderung? : Eine Bedarfsanalyse an der Fachhochschule Osnabrück
(2010)
Hintergrund
Betriebliche Gesundheitsförderung ist ein Instrument, um auf die gesamtgesellschaftlichen und strukturellen Veränderungen, die an Hochschulen gestellt werden, zu reagieren. Um betriebliche Gesundheitsförderung an der Fachhochschule Osnabrück zu etablieren, wurde zunächst der Bedarf analysiert.
Methode
Der Bedarf an betrieblicher Gesundheitsförderung wurde mittels Web-basierter, schriftlicher Mitarbeiter- und Studierendenbefragung erhoben und hinsichtlich der Statusgruppen differenziert ausgewertet.
Ergebnisse
Es bestehen signifikante Unterschiede sowohl im Gesundheitsverhalten als auch im Gesundheitszustand der Beschäftigten und Studierenden. Nackenschmerzen sind bei Mitarbeitern häufiger, wohingegen Studierende stärkere psychische Belastungen angaben. Auch die Erwartungen an BGF unterscheiden sich hinsichtlich der Statusgruppen.
Schlussfolgerung
Die Angehörigen der Fachhochschule Osnabrück weisen insgesamt einen relativ guten Gesundheitszustand auf, dennoch zeigte die Bedarfsanalyse die Notwendigkeit und auch das Potential für BGF-Maßnahmen auf.
Hintergrund Die physiotherapeutische Dokumentation spielt im Therapieprozess eine wichtige Rolle, erfolgt jedoch auf unterschiedlichste Weise. Es existieren derzeit eine Vielzahl von Softwarelösungen für die physiotherapeutische Dokumentation, welche sich jedoch in ihren Funktionalitäten stark unterscheiden. Ziel Mithilfe einer Befragung soll ein Konsens von Expertenaus der Physiotherapie im Themengebiet der softwarebasierten Dokumentation ermittelt werden. Anhand der Ergebnisse wird ein Anforderungskatalog für die Entwicklung einer neuartigen und benutzerorientierten Dokumentationssoftware erstellt. Methode Online-Delphi-Befragung mit neun Experten über drei Befragungswellen.
Ergebnisse Hinsichtlich der Anforderungen an die Anamnese konnte ein Konsens erzielt werden. Bei der Gliederung des Befundes kam es zu keiner Übereinstimmung der Experten. Das Ergebnis lässt sich durch unterschiedliche manualtherapeutische Konzepte erklären, die für die Befunderhebung verwendet wurden. Schlussfolgerung Eine softwarebasierte Dokumentation sollte standardisierter als bisher erfolgen, um den ClinicalReasoning-Prozess zu unterstützten. Gleichzeitig ist dabei eine gewisse Flexibilität geboten. Die gesammelten Anforderungen können für die Entwicklung einer neuartigen und benutzerorientierten mobilen Anwendung zur Effizienzsteigerung in der physiotherapeutischen Dokumentation verwendet werden.
Musicians often suffer from disorders of the musculoskeletal system that are related to their instrument playing. Among the most frequent symptoms are complaints in the shoulder-neck area. Radial shock wave therapy is increasingly used in trigger point treatment, but only few high-level studies have examined of shock wave therapy used together with physical therapy in the treatment of musicians. METHODS: This randomized blinded study in musicians (n = 26) with nonspecific shoulder-neck problems was done to examine the effect of shock wave therapy in addition to current physical therapy on the symptoms and quality of life of the musicians as well as their habits of playing musical instruments (intervention group shock wave vs reference group placebo). The effects were documented by a pain VAS and other instruments. A questionnaire designed specifically for musicians (with initial and final questions) recorded intensity and manifestation of pain and handicaps in daily life, especially when practicing and playing. The Shoulder Pain and Disability Index (SPADI) and the Neck Pain Disability Index Questionnaire (NPDIQ) were also used. RESULTS: Both groups reported subjective improvement in pain, but significance was found only for the intervention group for the SPADI and NPDIQ. CONCLUSIONS: Trigger point treatment with radial shock wave used in combination with physical therapy makes the subjects feel temporarily relieved of neck and shoulder pains. The effects of radial shock wave without physical therapy will need to be examined in further studies.
Rationale
Playing the trombone can lead to playing-related musculoskeletal disorders (PRMD). Previous research suggests that professional trombonists predominantly struggle with PRMD on the left body side. An increasing volume leads to an increasing contact pressure on the mouthpiece of the trombone, but it is still unclear how the muscle activity relates to this and whether it differs in musicians with PRMD from those without PRMD.
Purpose
The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between the activity of different muscles of the left body side, the contact pressure on the mouthpiece and the volume level in healthy trombonists.
Methods
Six male healthy tenor trombonists were included in this study and run through a standardized protocol which consisted of playing a b-flat major scale with three different volume levels (pianissimo, mezzoforte, fortissimo). Analyzed parameters were (1) the activity of several muscles of the left body side (measured with surface electromyography), (2) the contact pressure on the mouthpiece (measured with a force sensor) and (3) the different volume levels.
Results
Analysis of variance reveals significant differences of the muscle activity for the three volume levels. Depending on the volume level and the selected muscle, results show very weak to moderate correlations between contact pressure on the mouthpiece and muscle activity (Spearman´s rho between .11 and .58). The strongest correlation across all muscles occurs during fortissimo playing.
Conclusions
These results show a relationship in healthy trombonists between volume level, contact pressure on the mouthpiece and muscle activity when playing a b-flat major scale. Future research should include trombonists with PRMD to enable comparison between PRMD and non-PRMD musicians.
Educational Objectives:
At the end of the presentation, the participants will be able to…
1. understand the relationship between muscle activity, contact pressure on the mouthpiece and volume when playing the trombone
2. recognize that there are different muscle activity patterns on the left body side when playing the trombone
3. understand that a comprehensive functional diagnosis is important in the management of musicians
Background: Muscle fatigue has been reported as a risk factor for the
development of performance-related musculoskeletal disorders (PRMD) in
musicians. However, little research exists to support this claim. The aim of
this study was to investigate whether changes occur in muscle activity
patterns during high string performance over a prolonged playing period, and
whether this is influenced by PRMD.
Methods: High string musicians were divided into a PRMD and a non-PRMD
group. They played a chromatic scale pre and post and a self-chosen “hard”
(Borg scale 16-17) piece of music for one hour. Electromyography data
recorded from arm, shoulder and trunk muscles was analyzed: the amplitude
to measure muscle activity characteristics and the lower frequency to
measure muscle fatigue. Differences between and within groups and the
frequency spectrum were analyzed using linear mixed models.
Results: Fifteen musicians participated (7 PRMD: 22.8 years, 2 male/5 female
and 8 non-PRMD: 34.3 years, 2 male/6 female). Changes in muscle activation
patterns were observed between and within both groups, however changes
varied significantly depending on group affiliation. Significant low frequency
spectrum changes between groups were observed in overall muscles of the
right arm (p=0.04) and left forearm flexors (p=0.05) following one hour of
playing.
Conclusions: Muscle activity and frequency spectrum shifts differ in high
string musicians with and without PRMD, suggesting possible differential
muscle fatigue effects between the groups.
