Occupations requiring prolonged periods of constrained standing are associated with the development of low back pain (LBP). Many workplaces use improvised standing aids aimed to reduce LBP. Unfortunately, there is little scientific evidence to support the use of such standing interventions in effectively reducing LBP. To assess some commonly implemented standing interventions, thirty-one participants stood in four different standing positions (Level Ground (control), Sloped, Elevated, and Staggered) for 5 min each. The use of an elevated surface changed the lumbar spine posture of participants such that participants stood in a more flexed lumbar spine posture. This change in lumbar spine posture may be an indication that the elevated standing aid intervention can positively impact lumbar spine posture in standing pain developers and potentially reduce LBP.
需要长时间保持受限站立姿势的职业与下背痛(LBP)的发生有关。许多工作场所使用临时站立辅助工具以减少下背痛。不幸的是,几乎没有科学证据支持使用此类站立干预措施能有效减少下背痛。为了评估一些常用的站立干预措施,31名参与者分别以四种不同的站立姿势(平地(对照)、倾斜、抬高和交错)站立,每种姿势站立5分钟。使用抬高的表面改变了参与者的腰椎姿势,使参与者以更屈曲的腰椎姿势站立。腰椎姿势的这种变化可能表明,抬高站立辅助工具干预措施可以对站立时易患疼痛者的腰椎姿势产生积极影响,并有可能减轻下背痛。
