Chronic Back and Neck Pain in Pilots Flying Different Aircraft
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 9
Abstract
Many studies have been conducted in relation to the prevalence of chronic low back pain in aviators. Other studies have been conducted in relation to the prevalence of neck pain, with few researches combining the two. This research investigates the relationship between the prevalence of persistent neck and backache in aviators. The research constitutes an articles review, with relevant articles being selected based on their discussion of the topic. A search conducted using the key words resulted in 18 relevant articles. Most of the articles discuss the prevalence of low back pain in aviators, with others looking at neck pain in different types of aircraft pilots. The results of the article review indicate a higher incidence of the symptoms in aviators compared to the general population. Helicopters have a higher incidence, with the civilian pilots having a relatively lower prevalence compared to military pilots.
