简要总结
This is a randomized controlled study to determine if patients between the ages of 18-50 years, with posture related low back pain, who use the Upright device demonstrate improved pain control and self perception of posture compared to those given standard ergonomic instruction.
详细描述
Back pain is a common complaint among students. For many, back pain is directly related to poor posture while sitting and standing. Those who spend prolonged time sitting in poor posture often develop muscular imbalances leading to tight chest muscles and weakness in back muscles. The Upright system is a device which helps provide a sensory reminder to alert users when their posture is poor. The purpose of this study is to determine if patients who use the upright posture device demonstrate improved pain control and self perception of posture when compared to those given standard ergonomic instruction.

Score on Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS)
时间窗: 4 weeks
The NPRS is a segmented numeric version of the visual analog scale (VAS) in which a respondent selects a whole number (0-10 integers) that best reflects the intensity of his/her pain. The common format is a horizontal bar or line. The 11-point numeric scale ranges from '0' representing one pain extreme (e.g. "no pain") to '10' representing the other pain extreme (e.g. "pain as bad as you can imagine" or "worst pain imaginable"). Averages were taken of each group, pre and post intervention. A higher score represents a worse outcome, and a lower score represents a better outcome.
Score on the PROMIS Pain Interference Short Form 6b
时间窗: 4 weeks
The Patient-Reported Outcome Measurement Information System (PROMIS) Pain Interference Short Form utilizes a 7-day recall period (items include the phrase "In the past 7 days..."). Individuals are to score pain interference for each of the 6 questions from a scale of 1 to 5. 1. = Not at all 2. = A little bit 3. = Somewhat 4. = Quite a bit 5. = Very Much Scores are collected and analyzed as individual questions, and not as an aggregate total. Averages were taken of each question, for each group, pre and post intervention. A higher score represents a worse outcome and a lower score represents a better outcome.
