Abstrakt: This study was conducted to evaluate and compare the incidence of Lower back pain (LBP) and muscle fatigue among oral and maxillofacial surgery residents during exodontia procedure in standing and sitting position This included a total of 24 participants out of which 11 (45 %) were male and 13 (55%) were female. All the participants were in the age group of 25-29 years. Participants were predominantly right-handed 83 percent of total participants. Root mean square was calculated for all subjects before and after extraction in sitting and standing position separately. A pre-extraction root mean square (RMS) value was in the range of 40-110 mv and post extraction, participants showed increased muscle activity, with RMS values ranging from 170 to 200 mV. Standing position resulted in higher muscle activity compared to sitting position. The study concluded that even though muscle fatigue is present both in sitting and standing position. Sitting position comparatively causes less muscle activity and thereby less muscle fatigue, use of ergonomics chair could further decrease the muscle fatigue associated with sitting position. Maintaining correct ergonomic positions while performing surgical procedures can lead to decrease in evidence of work related Musculo-skeletal disorder (MSD) and improve the quality of life.
