Lumbar Movement Dysfunction Based on Movement Control Impairment Classification System in Those Who Do and Do Not Develop Transient Low Back Pain During Prolonged Sitting
Long-term sitting triggers movement-related disorders. We used a movement control impairment (MCI) system to investigate lumbar movement dysfunction in those who did and did not develop transient low back pain (LBP) during prolonged sitting.
