Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to test the effect of "Tailored Physical Activity" on the number of sick-days.

The hypothesis is that "Tailored Physical Activity" is superior in efficacy on sick-days.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Health care workers have high prevalence of musculoskeletal pain. Pain in the back and neck and other musculoskeletal disorders are the leading cause for long-term sick leave.

This study test the effect of "Tailored Physical Activity" on self-reported days on sick leave and parameters regarding pain, function and quality of life respectively on the body function and participation level of health care workers which have experienced musculoskeletal pain related to the back or upper body.

A minimum of 44 health care workers in DK-Sønderborg Municipality will be randomized for "Tailored Physical Activity" or a reference group.
