Exacerbation of pain during coitus is a prevalent issue among low back pain patients. A novel biomechanical analysis was performed to describe and compare male spine kinematics across 5 common coital positions. Initial recommendations of coital positions to avoid were developed for types of motion- and posture-intolerant male patients.

The findings provided here may guide the clinician's specific recommendations, including alternative coital positions and/or movement patterns or suggesting a lumbar support, depending on the female LBP patient's specific motion and posture intolerances.
