Ergonomic Audit Process

1. The Ergonomics Specialist from Spinalogy conducts an audit at the client’s site.
2. The following factors are taken into consideration:
   • Workstations
   • Employee conditions (General health, age, gender, etc.)
   • Working conditions (Facilities, tools, equipment, etc.)
   • MSD hazard identification
3. After a detailed evaluation of the site, necessary modifications and alternatives are advised by the doctor for a better workplace environment. The deliverable consists of a brief and specific report outlining findings and prioritized recommendations.
4. Where applicable, the client can then take the right steps to reduce the identified hazards.

Ergonomic Workshop

Employers looking to improve the quality of work life of employees can conduct an ergonomic workshop. The process is as follows:

1. Ergonomic workshop is conducted at the client’s site by our team of doctors, which includes an orthopaedic specialist, ergonomics specialist, and physiotherapist.
2. An interactive session with demonstrations and practical solutions is conducted by the team.
3. Necessary lifestyle modifications and alternatives are advised by our team.

Corporate Sessions

These sessions are conducted by a team of experienced doctors specializing in different fields like ergonomics, manual therapy, physiotherapy, orthopaedics, etc. As our team of doctors deal with problems related to the neck, back and joints on a regular basis, their guidance is simple and practical.

School Health Program

Many studies suggest that heavy backpacks result in increased disc pressure and lumbar curvature and restrict movement of spine. This makes children the prime candidates for postural and degenerative changes in later part of life. To address this often-neglected problem area, we conduct School Health Programs to help children prevent musculoskeletal injuries and problems. This non-surgical intervention can help children avoid injuries in the future.

The Ergonomic Audit And Session For Children Includes:

Child Health Program

“Heavy Backpacks Lead to Injuries & Disorders – A Pre-emptive Strike is Necessary!”

A person can bear a certain amount of weight on his/ her back. If this weight is on the higher side (more than 15% of body weight) then the person will experience pain. If he carries this weight for a prolonged period, the problems become worse. When this situation is replicated for children, the effects are much worse because children are in a developmental stage. Their bones are not as strong as adults’ bones. Moreover, they might not always be aware of any postural or other physical changes in their bodies. Hence, reducing the weight on their shoulders (quite literally) is a parent’s responsibility.

Backpack Evaluation & Posture Analysis

We conduct an in-depth analysis of the child’s backpack, posture, desk, and more. We then provide inputs on how to make improvements in order to reduce risk of injury and pain. We also educate children, parents, and schools on the modifications to be adopted to ensure that the child does not suffer. The entire process is interactive and interesting to help children grasp concepts easily.

The Root of the Problem

The rising incidence of back pain in school going children has become a matter of concern that needs to be addressed urgently. Heavy backpacks carried incorrectly are the root cause of neck and back pain among students. Writing/sitting on the table in wrong posture for a long time and wrong furniture along with continuous use of gadgets like smartphone, computers, gaming consoles, etc. can add to pain and discomfort leading to reduced attention during classes. Long distance travel in school bus, lack of exercise and faulty food habits add to the already existing burden of physical pain among children.

School Health Program Goals

We achieve the following goals:

Does Your Child Need Help?

In case you’re wondering if your child needs to attend the Spinalogy’ Child Health Program, have a look at the questions below:

1. Does your child often complain of neck and back pain?
2. Has his/ her posture been affected? (For instance, does he/she slouch while walking/ reading?)
3. Does your child complain of pain after walking for a few minutes?
4. Is your child less attentive in class?
5. Has your kid has suffered an injury related to the excessive weight of his/ her schoolbag?
6. Does he get tired and lethargic easily?

If any of these questions are true, your child’s health is at risk. You should meet with our doctor who can help you and your child out.

RESEARCH ON NEED FOR SCHOOL HEALTH PROGRAMS

Here, we will look at three studies that were conducted by a team of doctors to examine the relation between increment of weight of school bags and postural changes.

STUDY 1:

Measuring Effect of Excessive School Bag Weight & Craniovertebral Angle

STUDY 2:

Measuring Effect of Excessive School Bag Weight & Cervical Posture

STUDY 3:

Measuring Effect of Excessive School Bag Weight & Postural Angles
