Abstract

A descriptive, cross-sectional study conducted at a truck-stop in the Free State province of South Africa. Low back pain (LPB) is a common work-related symptom with multifactorial causes and truck drivers are particularly susceptible. This study demonstrated a high prevalence of Lower Back Pain (LBP) among the truck drivers. Many truck drivers reported moderate to high severity of pain. This study reiterates the need for awareness training and research to inform strategies to prevent LBP among truck drivers"
