Abstract

Background: Achilles tendinopathy is a common type of injury among building construction workers. Construction work is done by both young people and adults. They keep working until their point of exertion not realising the intensity of the injuries caused internally. This study aims to find the prevalence of Achilles pain among building construction workers. Objective: To find the clinical severity of pain in the Achilles tendon among building construction workers. Method: The study group consisted of 75 building construction workers (45 males and 30 females) aged between 22 and 45 years who had been working for 6 or more years and suffered from Achilles tendon pain. VISA-A questionnaire was used to analyse the severity of pain in the Achilles tendon. Each subject was given the questionnaire and according to the scores, the results were calculated. Result: The findings revealed a significant relationship between building construction workers and Achilles tendon pain with p value < 0.0001. Conclusion: The study showed that the building construction workers suffered from Achilles tendon pain. How to cite this article:Kakade A, Rayjade A.

建筑工人跟腱病的患病率

背景:跟腱病是建筑施工工人常见的一种损伤类型。建筑工作由年轻人和成年人共同完成。他们一直工作到筋疲力尽，却没有意识到内部受伤的强度。本研究旨在了解建筑工人跟腱疼痛的患病率。目的:了解建筑施工工人跟腱疼痛的临床严重程度。方法:研究对象为建筑施工工人75名，男45名，女30名，年龄22 ~ 45岁，工作6年以上，患有跟腱疼痛。采用VISA-A问卷分析跟腱疼痛的严重程度。对每个被试进行问卷调查，根据得分计算结果。结果:建筑施工工人跟腱疼痛与p值有显著相关;0.0001. 结论:本研究表明建筑施工工人存在跟腱疼痛。Kakade A, Rayjade A.建筑工人跟腱病的患病率。中国卫生与城市医学杂志，2013;12(2):99-102。DOI: https://doi.org/10.24321/2278.2044.202335
