Abstract |
Low back pain is a significant, under recognised problem in central Tibet, impairing health and productivity. In a baseline assessment of 30 rural villages surrounding Shigatse City, Tibet, many people, especially women, identified low back pain as a serious health problem. Consequently, the aim was to establish the prevalence of such pain and to develop appropriate interventions. |
