WHO describes "low back pain" (LBP) as the most common problem in overall occupational-related diseases. The aim of this study was to evaluate characteristics of spinal functionality among sedentary workers and determine usability of the SpinalMouse skin-surface measurement device in workplace settings in a risk population for LBP. The spinal examination was implemented at National Instruments Corporations' Hungarian subsidiary, Debrecen in October, 2015, involving 95 white-collar employees as volunteers to assess spinal posture and functional movements. Data from the physical examination of 91 subjects (age: 34.22 ± 7.97 years) were analyzed. Results showed significant differences ( < 0.05) in posture and mobility of the spinal regions in sitting compared to standing position. Significant positive correlations were observed between values measured in standing and sitting positions in all observed regions and aspects of the spine ( < 0.05) except posture of lumbar extension ( = 0.07) and mobility of sacrum/hip in E-F ( = 0.818). Significant ( < 0.001) difference (5.70°) was found between the spinal inclination in sitting 6.47 ± 3.55° compared to standing 0.77 ± 2.53 position. Sitting position has a negative effect on the posture and mobility of the spine among white-collar employees. The SpinalMouse can be used effectively to determine spinal posture and mobility in cross-sectional studies and impact analysis of physical exercise interventions.
世界卫生组织（WHO）将“下背部疼痛”（LBP）描述为总体职业相关疾病中最常见的问题。本研究的目的是评估久坐工作者的脊柱功能特征，并确定 SpinalMouse 皮肤表面测量设备在 LBP 高危人群的工作场所环境中的可用性。脊柱检查于 2015 年 10 月在 National Instruments Corporations 的匈牙利子公司 Debrecen 进行，共有 95 名白领员工作为志愿者参与，以评估脊柱姿势和功能运动。对 91 名受试者（年龄：34.22 ± 7.97 岁）的体格检查数据进行了分析。结果显示，坐姿与站姿相比，脊柱各区域的姿势和活动度存在显著差异（<0.05）。在所有观察到的脊柱区域和方面，站立和坐姿测量值之间存在显著正相关（<0.05），除了腰椎伸展姿势（=0.07）和 E-F 节段骶骨/髋关节活动度（=0.818）外。坐姿时脊柱倾斜度为 6.47±3.55°，而站立时为 0.77±2.53°，两者之间存在显著差异（<0.001）。坐姿对白领员工的脊柱姿势和活动度有负面影响。SpinalMouse 可有效用于确定脊柱姿势和活动度，并进行横断面研究和体育锻炼干预的影响分析。
