Article Synopsis
- The study focused on understanding the disability levels of salespeople suffering from low back pain (LBP) and identifying factors that contribute to this disability.
- A survey involving 184 female sales associates revealed that while they reported LBP, their disability levels were relatively low, with key factors like pain intensity, health status, and work-related activities significantly impacting their condition.
- The findings suggest that healthcare providers should target specific modifiable risk factors to help prevent disability in salespeople experiencing LBP.
