Brief Summary:
The aim of this study is to examine the clinical effects of supporting the human pelvis in a neutral sitting position in subjects with Low Back Pain over a 3-week period. The neutral sitting posture will be supported by a portable and adjustable "pelvic support device" or "pelvic support assembly" per US Patent number US 8,857,906 B2 that is used in the seat of the user's desk chair.
Detailed Description:
This study is a randomized control trial with repeated measures. It will include 34 subjects with low back pain who sit 25 hours a week or more at a desk / computer.
There will be 2 groups: control and experimental, each with 17 subjects. All subjects will be measured on the same 2 dates (3 weeks apart - pre and post intervention) with the same measures.
The experimental group will use a pelvic support device, that aids in supporting the user's pelvis in a neutral position, in their desk chairs at home or work as tolerated during this 3 weeks.
The control group will continue in their current sitting arrangement during the same 3 weeks.
For control of conflict of interest, the Sponsor-Investigator will not perform any of the measures and data will be coded for subject group assignment until all data analysis is finalized.
Multiple sessions of 3-week intervals of data collection may be performed as needed to achieve desired subject number in the study.
