Polislerde bel ağrısı

Bel ağrısı epidemiyolojik olarak uzun zamandır irdelenmekte olup, insidans çeşitli meslek gruplarında da araştırılmaktadır. Bel ağrısına klinik yaklaşım ve tedavi gayet iyi tanımlanmış olmasına rağmen, mesleki bel ağrıları için klinik ana hatlar o kadar net değildir. Mesleki fiziksel gereksinimler ve psikososyal özellikleri bakımından polisler, mesleki bel ağrısı açısından riskli bir gruptur. Bu derlemede, polislerde mesleki bel ağrısı incelenmiş ve tedavi yaklaşımları gözden geçirilmiştir.

Low back pain in policemen

Low back pain has been investigated epidemiologically for many years, and its incidence in different occupations has been studied. There are well-established clinical guidelines for the management of low back pain, but these provide limited guidance on occupational aspects. In view of the risky physical demands and psychosocial features of police work, policemen are at risk for low back pain. In this review, occupational low back pain and therapeutic approaches in policemen were investigated.
