Abstract:
Background Bicep tendinitis, also known as biceps tendinopathy or biceps tendinosis, is a common musculoskeletal disorder characterized by inflammation or degeneration of the bicep’s tendon. It is often associated with repetitive overhead activities, heavy lifting, and tasks that require forceful use of the arms. Among occupational populations, heavy lifting workers at construction sites are particularly susceptible to this condition due to the nature of their work. Methods Heavy lifting workers who lift bricks more than 5 kgs underwent numeric pain rating scale (NPRS) evaluation, Function independence measure (FIM), yergasons test and Quick DASH Scale Data on age, work experience, and lifting weight were recorded. Participants with any recent shoulder surgery and recent shoulder fracture were excluded. Result In a study involving 97 heavy lifting workers who lift bricks more than 5 kgs, 8.25% (8 participants) exhibited positive bicep tendinitis, while 91.75% (89 participants) had normal scores on the FIMS Scale,Quick DASH Score, NPRS Scale and Negative yergasons test. Participants with bicep tendinitis. Most participants (89) were aged between 30-40 years, with a mean age of 22.63 (±3.36) years. Interestingly, a higher prevalence of Bicep Tendinitis was observed in participants have work experience of more than 5 years. Paticipants shown positive bicep tendinitis have mean of 6.50±(1.60=2.15E-24) in NPRS Scale, 16.2593.45=7.55E-68) In Quick DASH Score, and 122.63(2.88=4.78E-16) In FIMS Score. Conclusion This study underscores the susceptibility of Bicep tendinitis Heavy lifting workers who has repetative overhead activities, indicating a heightened risk of tendon rupture. Shoulder pain, with or without Bicep tendinitis, adversely affects individuals' quality of life and work performance. It stresses the necessity for spine surgeons, physiotherapists, and physical trainers to promote awareness regarding biomechanical principles, proper weightlifting techniques, and execution to prevent future physical injuries.
