Sedentary office work has been shown to cause low back discomfort and potentially cause
injury. Prolonged standing work has been shown to cause discomfort. The implementation of …

The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effects of mental fatigue (MF) induced by a
90-min continuous demanding cognitive task on balance control. Twenty healthy young …

and standing office work and evaluate associations with transient low back pain …

A novel active office chair (Movably Pro) was designed to facilitate frequent sit-stand
movement 1) through auditory and tactile prompts and 2) with minimal-to-no work surface …

Workers with low back pain (LBP) may benefit from wearing a lumbar belt (LB), but the
