Trial Outcomes & Findings for Efficacy of a Combined Ergonomic Health Promotion Intervention on Employee Health (NCT NCT02071420)
NCT ID: NCT02071420
Last Updated: 2017-10-23
Results Overview
Occupational physical activity (primary outcome) will be measured objectively with the GENEActiv physical activity monitor. The monitor will be worn on the right ankle and will be worn for 5 working days during all non-bathing hours. The outcome measure will be change in occupational activity (average counts/work day) from baseline to 16 weeks. The measure will be calculated as follows: 16 weeks value - baseline value.

Experimental Group
This group will receive the seated active workstation intervention, the ergonomic intervention and the email intervention for 16 weeks.
Active Workstation Intervention: Participants in the experimental group will receive a seated active workstation at their work setting for 16 weeks.
Ergonomic Intervention: Participants of both arms will receive a face to face ergonomic workstation optimization intervention. This consultation will take 30 minutes to complete and will be performed at the participant's actual work station.
Email Intervention: Participants of both arms will receive three emails per week for 16 weeks. Messages will be consistent with what they hear in the ergonomic intervention (e.g., encourage taking breaks from sitting at work and adjusting posture to be in line with ergonomic principles).
