本研究的目的是研究一组工厂工人腰痛和下肢疼痛之间的关系，并确定缓冲鞋垫对腰痛和下肢疼痛的影响。通过问卷调查对某航空发动机装配厂306名员工进行数据收集。40名报告背部或下肢疼痛程度明显的工人被抽样，穿着正常的鞋子连续4次轮班12小时，然后一周后连续4次轮班穿缓冲鞋垫。据报道，工厂工人的腰痛和下肢疼痛程度较高，但腰痛与下肢疼痛的相关性较差（r = 0.371）。鞋垫对40名工人的影响是将腰痛降低38%，脚痛降低37%，膝盖痛降低38% （p < 0.001）。然而，腰痛的减轻与下肢疼痛的减轻并不相关；报告腰痛减轻的工人与报告下肢疼痛减轻的工人不同。
The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between low back pain and lower extremity pain in a group of factory workers and determine the effect of cushioning insoles on low back pain and lower extremity pain. Data were gathered via questionnaire from 306 employees of an aircraft engine assembly factory. A subset of 40 workers who had reported significant levels of back or lower extremity pain were sampled for four consecutive 12-hour shifts wearing their normal footwear and then a week later for four consecutive shifts wearing cushioning insoles. High levels of low back pain and lower extremity pain were reported by workers on the plant floor, but low back pain was poorly correlated to lower extremity pain (r = 0.371). The effect of insoles on the subset of 40 workers was to lower low back pain by 38%, foot pain by 37%, and knee pain by 38% (p < .001). The reduction in low back pain, however, was not correlated to the reduction in lower extremity pain; workers reporting a decrease in low back pain differed from those reporting less lower extremity pain.
