Examining The Correlation Between Static Posture and The Disability Caused by Low Back Pain: A Study Among Workers at Universitas Indonesia = Kajian Korelasi Postur Statis dengan Disabilitas Akibat Nyeri Punggung Bawah: Studi pada Pekerja di Universitas Indonesia.

Low back pain (LBP) is a very common musculoskeletal problem that affects people of all ages and backgrounds. It significantly affects quality of life and is the primary cause of years lived with disability globally. Despite the significant incidence of LBP in Indonesia, the majority of research has concentrated on populations such as pregnant women, miners, farmers, and fishermen. There currently exists quite limited study on academic worker. The design of this study is cross-sectional. The Posture Screen mobile application was used to measure static posture. The Roland-Morris Disability Questionnaire (RMDQ) was used to measure disability caused by LBP, while the degree of intensity of LBP was assessed with the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI). Participants were also asked to complete a questionnaire on their personal and professional characteristics in order to measure for any confounding variables. The results demonstrate that the disability caused by low back pain is significantly correlate (p < 0.05) with both static posture and the degree of intensity caused by LBP. Knee lateral deviation was the only one that is significantly correlates (p < 0.05) among the posture characteristics. It concludes that the effect of static posture shows a significant correlation with disability caused by low back pain, especially knee lateral deviation.

Nyeri punggung bawah (NPB) merupakan masalah muskuloskeletal yang sangat umum dan dapat dialami oleh semua kelompok usia maupun latar belakang. Kondisi ini berdampak signifikan terhadap kualitas hidup serta menjadi penyebab utama tahun hidup dengan disabilitas di seluruh dunia. Meskipun insidensi NPB di Indonesia cukup tinggi, sebagian besar penelitian masih berfokus pada populasi tertentu seperti ibu hamil, penambang, petani, dan nelayan. Penelitian mengenai tenaga kependidikan masih sangat terbatas. Desain penelitian ini adalah potong lintang. Aplikasi Posture Screen digunakan untuk mengukur postur statis. Roland-Morris Disability Questionnaire (RMDQ) digunakan untuk menilai disabilitas akibat NPB, sedangkan tingkat keparahan NPB diukur menggunakan Oswestry Disability Index (ODI). Partisipan juga diminta mengisi kuesioner mengenai karakteristik pribadi dan pekerjaan mereka untuk mengidentifikasi variabel perancu. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa disabilitas akibat nyeri punggung bawah berkorelasi signifikan (p < 0,05) dengan postur statis dan tingkat keparahan nyeri. Dari karakteristik postur, hanya deviasi lateral lutut yang ditemukan memiliki korelasi signifikan (p < 0,05). Dengan demikian, dapat disimpulkan bahwa postur statis memiliki hubungan yang bermakna dengan disabilitas akibat nyeri punggung bawah, khususnya pada deviasi lateral lutut.
