Prevalence of upper limb pain and disability and its correlates with demographic and personal factors
Journal of Pain Research Sep 14, 2019
Almomani F, et al. - Researchers examined 2,100 students from the population of 2 public and 2 private universities in Jordan for the prevalence of upper limb pain and disability using the Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand (DASH) outcome questionnaire. In addition, they sought for the potentially correlated factors. Among these students, upper limb pain and disability were prevalent in 24%. Several factors—such as smartphone use, computer use, the presence of musculoskeletal problems, not living with their families, using public transport (bus), and daily housekeeping—were identified as significantly correlated with upper limb pain and disability among university students. Global use of these results may assist in improving the health and well-being of university students, enhancing their academic performance and future career.
