Impact of a Sit-Stand Workstation on Chronic Low Back Pain: Results of a Randomized Trial
Objective : The aim of the study was to determine whether  chronic low back pain ( LBP ) might be attenuated through the introduction of a sit-st and workstation ( SSW ) in office employees . Methods : Participants were r and omized to receive a SSW at the beginning or at the end of a 3-month study period . Participants responded to a short survey at the end of each workday and a comprehensive survey at weeks 1 , 6 , and 12 . Surveys consisted of a modified brief pain inventory and the Rol and Morris Disability Question naire . Results : Forty-six university employees with self-reported chronic LBP were enrolled . Participants who were given access to a SSW reported a significant reduction in current ( P = 0.02 ) and worst ( P = 0.04 ) LBP over time . Conclusions : Our findings support the hypothesis that chronic LBP might be improved by the introduction of a SSW in an office environment
