The Effect of Back Exercise on the Prevention of Low Back Pain Among Office Employees of Red Justice Law Institute, Bogor Regency

Abstract

Low back pain is a very typical issue that office workers face because they sit for long periods and often have bad posture. In order to avoid low back discomfort among office workers at the Red Justice Law Institute, Bogor Regency, this study intends to examine the impact of back exercises. One group completed a test both before and after the intervention as part of the pre-experimental methodology used in the study. The participants were 23 employees, chosen through total sampling. The Straight Leg Raise (SLR) test was used to assess LBP before and after intervention. To evaluate the data, the paired sample t-test was employed. Pretest and posttest scores differed significantly (p < 0.05), according to the results, suggesting that back exercise effectively prevents low back pain. In summary, back exercises are a non-pharmacological way for office workers to avoid and lessen lower back pain.
