| Summary: |
Low back pain caused by decreasing discus
space and narrowing foramen invertebralis
which can produce irritation of the nerve roots
and with radiating back pain. The purpose of
this research is to determine the eff ectiveness
of medula Spinalis Belt (MSB) to reduce pain in
coal workersin coal workers.
Design of the research was quasy experimental
with pre-post test design with control group
design. the population were 30 people of which
15 persons for the intervention group and 15
the control group, and spinal cord Belt as a
tool made by researcher. Data collection was
performed by measuring the intensity of pain
using the VAS, at the time before and after the
intervention, and analysis done by t test (Paired
t-test and independent t test).
The result showed that there was a decrease
in the average of intensity of low back pain in
the intervention group after using the Medula
Spinalis Belt. There was an increase in the
average of intensity of low back pain in the
control group after the post-test, and there is
a signifi cant diff erence between the intensity
of low back pain in the post-test of treatment
group and the control group with p-value =
0.000. There were two risk factor of LBP which
are age and gender occurred from multivariate
analysis with beta -0,32, sig 0,049.
The use of Medula Spinalis Belt can reduce the
intensity of low back pain. The use of Medula
Spinalis Belt in patients with low back pain
will serve to control the pain because it can
limit or support the lumbar movement, so it
is suggested to coal workers to use Medula
Spinalis Belt to reduce pain in patients with
lower back pain.
