Abstract
There are a very small number of left-handed people (LHP) and it is common that most of the equipment in academic institutions starting from benches and laboratory tools to doors and windows are manufactured or modified to be used by right-handed people (RHP) making it difficult to use them by LH ones. Therefore, it is of interest to understand the actual level of pain & its quality in LH individuals caused by the utilization of equipment made for RHP. A total of 50 subjects were asked to fill out the Nordic Pain Questionnaire (NPQ). We found that, the significance of musculoskeletal pain (MS-P) in left-handed individuals is 92%. Thus, the prevalence of MS-P in left-handed students is significant with 92% frequency.
Keywords
Musculoskeletal pain, left-handed people (LHP), nordic pain questionnaire (NPQ), quality, right-handed people (RHP).
