Abstract
A review was conducted
of
prospective studies (1997-2014) examining the efficacy
of
exercise
as a
workplace
intervention to
control
neck
/shoulder pain, symptoms, and disability. The review identified 38 relevant studies - 20 were classified with positive effects, 13 with null effects, and 5 as inconclusive.
Of
the positive studies, 12 were consistent with Level I evidence, 3 with Level II evidence, and 5 with Level IV evidence. Specific resistance training (SRT)
exercise
appeared to be associated with more positive studies (eight Level I studies) than other
exercise
modalities such as general resistance training, general physical
exercise
, stretching, and movement awareness exercises. Studies
of
longer trial duration tended toward more null findings and lower program compliance. Evidence
for
a primary preventive effect
of
workplace
exercise
is minimal. The findings
of
this review suggest that
workplace
exercise
can be effective as tertiary prevention and therapeutic relief
of
neck
/shoulder symptoms, at least over the shorter term.
