Abstract
To evaluate the effects of an exercise program combined with ergonomics training on pain, functional capacity, sleep quality, and fatigue in automotive workers with low back pain. Fifty-six automotive workers with low back pain were randomly assigned to an intervention group (ergonomics training plus exercise) or a control group (ergonomics training only). Outcomes were assessed at baseline and after 12 weeks. Both groups improved significantly after treatment (p<0.05). The intervention group showed greater improvements in pain, functional capacity, and sleep quality than the control group (p<0.05), with no significant between-group difference in fatigue severity. Exercise combined with ergonomics training is more effective than ergonomics training alone for reducing pain and improving function and sleep quality in automotive workers with low back pain.
