“…An office chair has different seat shapes and is moreover equipped with a backrest. The use of the backrests takes of the biomechanical load off the back and improves the comfort experience [13]. The Oxidesk has no backrest and may therefore be experienced as less comfortable as compared with an office chair.…”

Abstract. BACKGROUND:Working in an office environment is characterised by physical inactivity and sedentary behaviour. This behaviour contributes to several health risks in the long run. Dynamic workstations which allow people to combine desk activities with physical activity, may contribute to prevention of these health risks. OBJECTIVE: A dynamic workstation, called Oxidesk, was evaluated to determine the possible contribution to healthy behaviour and the impact on perceived work performance. METHODS: A field test was conducted with 22 office workers, employed at a health insurance company in the Netherlands. RESULTS: The Oxidesk was well accepted, positively perceived for fitness and the participants maintained their work performance. Physical activity was lower than the activity level required in the Dutch guidelines for sufficient physical activity. CONCLUSIONS: Although there was a slight increase in physical activity, the Oxidesk may be helpful in the reducing health risks involved and seems applicable for introduction to office environments.

“…Compared with standing, the slumped posture resulted in not only the increase in spinal compression forces, but also deformation of the intervertebral discs 38) . Additionally, deformation of the intervertebral discs over time may impose more load on the facet joints 39) , which may place more pressure on the nerves in the spinal column 40) .…”

The objectives of this study were to determine whether there is a change in the pelvic inclination after about 30 min of slump sitting by seated workers, and if so, to determine whether these changes can be prevented by the application of anterior pelvic tilt taping (APTT). The subjects who consented to participate in the experiment were randomly allocated to two groups: no-APTT group and APTT group. The no-APTT group performed slump sitting for 30 min, and the both pelvic inclinations were remeasured. In the APTT group, the both pelvic inclinations were measured immediately after the application of the APTT, and then again after 30 min of slump sitting. The both pelvic inclinations in the no-APTT group were significantly decreased (p<0.05) after they returned to the upright standing posture. The both pelvic inclinations in the APTT group were significantly increased immediately after the APTT (p<0.05), and this increase was maintained when returning to the upright standing posture after 30 min of slump sitting (p>0.05). We suggest that APTT can be applied as an auxiliary treatment method for preventing changes in pelvic inclination and musculoskeletal problems of low back area by awkward sitting posture in the seated worker.

“…Previous studiesshowed there is relationship between lumbar spine and other body parts discomfort there is change in posture and increase the stress on spine and musculature in our study we evaluate the lumbar spine through scoliometer and find that there is change in posture as well as increase in lumbosacral angle due to the lack of back support. 21,22,23,24,25 …”

Abstract:Objective: The aim of the study is to check the associated deformities due to of bike riding.Study Design: Observational study.Sample Size: 30 Participant meeting the inclusion criteria were enrolled. Sample population:Undergraduates of Ziauddin College of physical therapy and physiotherapist of Ziauddin hospital. Method:Every participant was asked to stand in a quiet room with air condition at 26 degree and proper lightening. We informed the participant about full procedure and distribute the consent form among all participants. Each participant attended an experiment on different stations to measure different deformities. Each session consisted for 15-20 minutes. Participant voluntarily responded the pre survey questionnaire before experiment. Afterward physical examination is done i.e. height and weights of participants are taken. During session scoliosis, kyphosis, bilateral shoulder shift and lumber lordosis are measured at each station and then participants are allowed to rest there for 5 minutes.Result: Result showed that there is a significant effect of having pain due to prolong riding and faulty posture. Conclusion:There was no significant effect on life style, type of bike use, duration of riding bike from years to years, estimated time of riding, localized pain, pain spread, numbness after riding, feeling pain in sitting or standing on cervical, thoracic, lumber spine, shoulder and neck.But there was a significant effect on cervical, lumber and thoracic spine in bike rider which having pain while riding, prolong riding time and faulty sitting posture.
