Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Low Back Pain, Back Pain

In brief

The purpose of the study is to evaluate the changes in back pain from access to a sit-stand workstation. Other muscle and joint pain and/or discomfort will also be evaluated. We hypothesize that access to a sit-stand workstation will allow one to experience postural variation and reduce back pain.
