Area of Science:
- Orthopaedics
- Occupational Health
- Rehabilitation Medicine
Background:
- Nonspecific back pain is prevalent, particularly in older adults.
- Traditionally linked to heavy physical activity, static postures like prolonged sitting and standing also contribute to lumbar pain.
- Lumbar orthoses (e.g., belts) are used for pain management, but evidence of their effectiveness is mixed.
