Abstract

Musculoskeletal Disorders are a growing problem that can cause time off, loss of production, early retirement, and permanent disability. Among the growing number of professionals that suffer from M.S.D., dental hygienists remain at high risk due to their repetitive and static tasks involved with their occupation. Learning ways to maintenance the body early on will help to control some of the M.S.D. pain and reduce the risks involved. Yoga has been a popular alternative therapy to control M.S.D. pain along with reducing stress that can heighten M.S.D. symptoms. The purpose of this study is to determine if simple yoga and breathing exercises can help mitigate M.S.D. pain and stress when incorporated before the clinical working day in dental hygiene students. Junior and senior dental hygiene students were randomly selected to control (n=13) and treatment groups (n=13). The treatment group completed preclinical yoga stretching and breathing exercises for seven weeks. At weeks one and seven, each group completed the Standardized Nordic Questionnaire (S.N.Q.) and the Modified Dental Environment Stress Questionnaire (MDESQ). The sum of M.S.D. pain resulted in no significant difference in musculoskeletal trouble (ache, pain, discomfort) between the control and treatment groups for Questionnaire 1 (Q1) and Questionnaire 2 (Q2). Overall stress outcomes were compared on the sum of group stressors between control and treatment groups. While living, personal, and education environmental stressors were not significant between the groups, academic and clinical stressors were significantly different between the groups.
