Brief summary
Low back pain is a significant, serious and widespread problem in our world today, both in terms of social and economic burdens. It should be emphasized that even the young adult age group is very often affected by non-specific, low back pain without proven pathoanatomical changes.
Detailed description
We plan to examine the use of a special lower back pillow and the time period of the sitting position. We would like to know how it helps to prevent and treat low back pain. We would like to know more about the people's pillow usage habits. We are planning a questionnaire survey. We combine our own questions with validated, official questionnaires. Validated forms ask for an assessment of the extent of low back pain and the quality of experienced stress.
