Background: Low back pain is prevalent in workers' health and functional performance.
Objective: To evaluate the effects of a physical exercise program on low back pain and disability in fruit workers.
Methods: This randomized controlled trial assigned 44 workers (37 ± 9 years) to two groups.
Background: Fruitculture workers are exposed to shoulder pain disorders due to long working times in overhead activities.
Objective: This study aims to analyze the association between the time of physical work and leisure activities over the perception of shoulder pain intensity in fruit growing workers.
Methods: This is a descriptive and correlational cross-sectional study.
The main objective of this study is to update the evidence related to the effectiveness of exercise and ergonomic interventions in the perception of shoulder pain intensity in workers considering the shoulder pain intensity and the minimum clinically important change in the analysis. The bibliographic search was conducted in seven databases (Cochrane, EMBASE, SciELO, PubMed, PEDro, Web of Science and Scopus) from March to April 2019. The study selection included randomized controlled trials (RCTs) involving workers with shoulder pain who underwent physical exercises, ergonomics, and combined interventions.
