Abstract

The relationships between sedentary lifestyle, sitting behaviour, and low back pain (LBP) remain controversial. In this study, we investigated the relationship between back pain and occupational sitting habits in 64 call-centre employees. A textile pressure mat was used to evaluate and parameterise sitting behaviour over a total of 400 h, while pain questionnaires evaluated acute and chronic LBP. Seventy-five percent of the participants reported some level of either chronic or acute back pain. Individuals with chronic LBP demonstrated a possible trend (t-test not significant) towards more static sitting behaviour compared to their pain-free counterparts. Furthermore, a greater association was found between sitting behaviour and chronic LBP than for acute pain/disability, which is plausibly due to a greater awareness of pain-free sitting positions in individuals with chronic pain compared to those affected by acute pain.

摘要

久坐的生活方式之间的关系，坐着的行为，和腰背痛（LBP）仍然存在争议。在这项研究中,我们调查了64名呼叫中心员工的背痛与职业坐姿习惯之间的关系.使用纺织压力垫评估和参数化总共400小时的坐姿行为。而疼痛问卷评估急性和慢性LBP。75%的参与者报告了一定程度的慢性或急性背痛。与无痛者相比，患有慢性LBP的个体表现出更静态的坐着行为的可能趋势（t检验不显着）。此外，与急性疼痛/残疾相比，坐姿行为与慢性LBP之间的关联更大。这似乎是由于与受急性疼痛影响的人相比，慢性疼痛患者对无痛坐姿的认识更高。
